OK, other than the fact that i’ll never be able to afford any of them!

Did you notice, that they are all set to roughly 10:10?

Do you know why?

Don’t worry, its not a global conspiracy or a secret nod to some secret alien invasion scheduled to drop at 10:10. Its more of an aesthetic reason that watches in advertisements are set this way.

The brandnames are typically located just under the 12O’clock mark, so a 10:10 nicely frames the brand, and also provides a sort of smiley, or a tick, when you look at it. (a little not too subtle psychology at play there!)

10:10 also means that any sub-dials or dates (like in the Panerai above) would also not be blocked, and you can clearly see most of the features of the watch.

So there.
