Why do analog clocks in advertisements usually show 10:10?

This is not done by chance but for aesthetic reasons.
Advertisers came up with this because, according to communicators,
they make the product more attractive:
1. This hour creates a sense of isometry.
2. Subconsciously the pointers remind you of a smile,
thus creating a feeling of pleasure, while on the contrary if it
were 8:20 they would remind you of a willful face which would create
the corresponding unpleasant feeling.
3. The hands appear to embrace the watch brand’s logo which is usually
located below the number 12.
4. Allows you to read other watch indications such as date, timer and more…
Some brands to differentiate show 10:08 or 10:09 or 10:11.

(In the first television watch commercial in 1941 in the USA,
for the Bulova company, which was also the first television
commercial in history, the clock showed exactly 8.)
