An analog clock is a traditional timekeeping device that uses mechanical hands or dials to display the time. It typically has a circular face with hour, minute, and sometimes second hands that rotate around a fixed center point. Analog clocks are often used in homes, schools, and workplaces as a visual representation of the passing hours.
It started originally with analog clocks. Setting the hands to 10 minutes after 10 o'clocked made them in an upward V shape. Studies had shown that most people related that to the open arms of a hug. Consequently sales of clocks increased when the hands were set to 10:10. The tradition simply never changed when the digital age struck.
