Thought I was seeing things, or not seeing things for a minute there. Glad you posted the second set of pics, I was just about to go check my blood sugar. :)
And nice pen.
Did you know someone has posted something about ideas on or looking (don't remember which) for Star Trek pens.

Did you know there is a little adage in the world of showing clocks and watches in ads. It is more acceptable to show the watch hands at 10:10 or 2:10. Why is that you may ask??? I did hear someone ask. :)As corny as it may sound this depicts a Happy Face on a clock face. If you set them to say 8:20 it depicts a sad face. People like happy faces.

Now when making these watch part pens it is sometimes customary to set the hands to a certain relevant time that may have a special meaning to the dial itself or to the customer request.

Just a little fun fact.:)

Nice pen by the way. Those dials are hard to come by because they are sought after and could get pricey.

I am aware of the 2:10 and 10:10 times on watches and clocks. I think it's baloney in my honest opinion. I'm not about the marketing aspect of the blanks. I am about making it my own way as an artist. Now, if I was mass producing, then yes, I would probably go with those times. I don't like to be a follower, only a leader.

I have had MANY requests to place the time on the dials at 5:00 because, as the song states, 'It's five o'clock somewhere!' LOL

Have a great day and a Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope I did not upset you. Not my intention. I was having a little fun by stating that fun fact. It was in response to the question and I know it was intended to you but no harm. As I mentioned many people request specific times if that has a special meaning to them. As many people make these it has been known also that sometimes such as the theme dials it can dictate where is a good place to set the hands so that they do not block a scene or a cool part of the dial. Even on the Mickey Mouse dials people like to see the hands waving so everyone has their reasons. There is no set hard rules. The 5 o'clock thing is another good example.

Take care and keep them coming. Again sorry for any over stepping the boundries.
 
I always thought they were set to 10:10 because it kept the hands out of the way of most of the face features, logo / date dial etc..

I would have set the time on that one to 5:01 (1701)


It looks great though keep them coming!
 
10:10 was used because when photographing the watches they wanted the hands to encase the brand name that is often just below the 12. In much older watches, the brand/logo was found just above the 6. That lead the marketing photo's with the time at 8:20. It was less desirable with the hands pointing down.

Nice blank
