ratchpot Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 That's interesting, if only for the reason that I thought that watches are generally set to 10:10 in adverts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hambone Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Funny thing that bit of info, having thought about it myself, I always noticed that watch ads were at 10:08 and concluded using the very same logic described in your post. What a good thing common sense is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devedander Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 I was always a subscriber to the smiley face theory... set your watch to 8:20 and you will notice it does look just overall less appealing than 10:10 I was always a subscriber to the smiley face theory... set your watch to 8:20 and you will notice it does look just overall less appealing than 10:08. I assume they use 8 instead of 10 minutes since it does balance the hands (at 8 minutse after the hour the hour hand will be just a bit past the 10 so makes sense to be a bit before the 2 mark).
