So...now you know... At What Time Are Watches Set for Sale? The time that analog watches are set for in advertisements or sales displays is generally 10:10, with the hands at 10 and 2, for a variety of aesthetic reasons. Most brand logos on watches are located in the top center of the watch’s face, so having the time set for 10:10 is thought to frame the logo and draw the eye toward it. Before the 1950s, watches were often set at 8:20 for the same logo framing purposes, but the downward-facing hands were thought to seem more negative. Some advertisers believe that having a watch set at 10:10 appears more positive because it makes the mind think of a smile or V for victory. More about advertising : In Apple advertisements, the iPhone generally is set at 9:42 a.m. No reason has been confirmed, although it is speculated that was the exact time the smartphone was first introduced to the public. The first newspaper advertisement was in 1704 in the Boston News-Letter and was for a piece of real estate. It is estimated that about $500 billion US Dollars (USD) is spent on advertising worldwide each year.
