You must have seen in most of the stopped clocks that the time is shown at 10:10. This time can be seen in most of the watches including Titan, Casio, Rolex, Cartier and Omega. Not only this, you will also see the same time in the advertisements made by big watch companies in newspapers, TV channels and hoardings. But have you ever thought that when the clocks are stopped, it is 10 minutes to 10 or 10 minutes to 2 o’clock? Why is the time set? Today we will tell you the reason behind this.
10 past 10
There are many stories behind the 10:10 in clocks. But the truth behind this is completely different. Because watch making companies have always been doing the same. Let us tell you that the first reason for this is considered to be the beauty of the watch. In fact, companies believe that when the clock shows 10:10, it looks very beautiful. At this time none of the needles overlap each other.

According to the information, at 10:10 the hands are set in such a way that the company’s logo and name are clearly visible. Because in most of the watches, the logo and name of the company is written in the middle. Setting the needles at this time does not hide either thing. Now the third reason for this is very special. In the clock advertisement, the hands make a victory sign at 10:10. Often the sign of victory is made by raising the first two fingers of the hands and making a V sign. At 10:10, the hands of the clock also look exactly like this.
What do American stories say?
There are some other stories about this time also. For example, some people believe that this happens because many American Presidents died at this time. American people think that the clocks in stores there are set to 10:10 because this is the same time when US Presidents Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. were assassinated.
Although this is not true at all. According to the information, Abraham Lincoln was shot at 10:15 in the night. He died the next day at 7:22 in the morning. Whereas John F. Kennedy was shot at 12:30 in the afternoon and was declared dead at 1:00 in the afternoon. Martin Luther King Jr. was shot at 6:01 pm and his death was announced at 7:05 pm. The story of American presidents dying in this manner is completely false.
