Whenever I see a watch commercial, chances are the minute and hour hands are always at the 10 and 2 position, signifying 10 minutes past ten. Any reason for that??

Having the dial show the time as "10:10" gives the illusion of balance and makes the dial more pleasing to the eye.

I remember reading once that at 10:10 the brand name of the watch as printed on the face is clearly legible.

My Ride: 2006 JET BLACK on BLACK SPORTS PACK 5ER, with RADENERGIE R-10's @ 20"
Both of the answers by ipse dixit and maxbuck are right. The second hand is usually at the 7. During pic taking it's easy with a quartz watch because you just pop out the battery and the time stops, but with an automatic watch I heard that they remove the main spring to get it to stop. Even then, if you look at watch catalogs, there are always a couple of watches with the wrong time.
