Another reason for the 10:10 is so all the watches in a catalogue would show the same time. Buyers thought they looked broken when they all showed different times.

I would buy the happy one because the numbers aren’t upside-down.

Watching making at it’s peak is a precise art. This is done to display symmetry or proper balance to both sides of the watch face. Expensive Swiss watches that display Roman Numerals also represent the 4 as IIII rather than IV for the similar reason. IV is too thin against VIII.

All shi taking, observation is good but watches are kept on 10:10 because of other reason.

if you look at watches on ads, u will see that they are as below
Hour hand (near to number 2)
Minute hand (at number 10)
second hand (at number 7)

this is to denote that the world stopped when the atomic bombs hit nagasaki and hirosima at japan during world war II. (due the M*****F***** americans)

google it not for fun bet for knowledge

wow, what ppl think these days…
i don’t see them smiling…it takes a lot of imagination to see a watch’s feelings, and i absolutely don’t care about them
and i don’t like the watch that’s shown here anyway, it’s ugly

yes i’ve searched and 90% use the smiling trick and i would buy the smiling one! But the watch is funny because the 12 is supposed to be at the top and the other numbers are like I,II,III…etc. and not like 1,2,3…etc, like the 12 is!
