Have you noticed that almost all display images of analog watches and clocks have their time set to ten minutes past ten (10:10)? Why is it so common all over the world? We see it on newspapers, magazines, billboards and even on websites? Any ideas who started this? Whenever we see images of clocks,we see that 10:10 is used by almost all clock and watch images.
Timex sets all their watches to 10:09:36, Philip Stein sets their time to either 10:10:40 or 03:40:10 (similar position to 10:10 upside down), Seiko commonly uses 10:09:42 on their watches and Timberland sets it at either 10:10:37 or 10:09:38.
So we see, 10:10 (or 10:09 on some) is the most common set time in the World. Whoever started it is still unknown.
