Do you know why in every seller picture, every wrist watch shows 10.10?

Hi Marius, I believe the idea is this is the ideal position for the hand set so as to display them without blocking much of the dial design, date window (three o’clock, six o’clock, if there is one), and name/logo of watchmaker (usually around twelve o’clock position) so generally speaking you’ll find this setup used for still photography watch pics.

Yes, and more whimsically, I have heard that the hands at 10:10 look “happy” and give positive vibes to the customer!😁

Yes I read an article that talked about how many watches sold depending on how the watch hands were positioned. They tested about 8 or so different positions.

Most watches were sold when the hands replicated a happy face, and least watches sold when the hands replicated a sad face.

Smiling hands are a marketing strategy

It’s 10:08

And it’s for the best legibility

I like to do 1:50 😬

@Marius I read somewhere, if not mistaken,it was based on marketing strategy, 1. To show a smile and attract potential buyer, 2. To show the brand under the 12 o'clock (although there are watches with the brands on the side or above the 6 o'clock
