Q: Why are the clock photos always at 10:8?
A: To make the logo look beautiful without hiding it.
If you look at promotional photos from many manufacturers, you'll notice that the hands are generally positioned at around 10:08. The reason is that it doesn't obscure the logo at 12 o'clock and makes the watch look its most beautiful. However, the standard time varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, and the position that looks most beautiful also changes depending on the watch design, so it can vary even between models within the same manufacturer. Here we will mainly look at basic three-hand models and give examples of standard time displays from various manufacturers.
