All watches are set to this time for display in the store. Don’t believe me? Look it up.
The hands are typically faced that way so you the customer can see the watch face, and they all look uniform and pretty in the case. 10:10 is what a watch manufacturer sets the hands on a watch to before it ships.
So…… how many 10:10s have happened since that post and nothing happened? Maybe a “time” or date isn’t what is meant?
