That tradition goes back to the beginning of clockmaking. By setting the hands of the clock to 10:10, the clockmaker makes the clock look symetrical (hour hand pointing up to the left and minute hand pointing up to the right) and offers the best view of the workmanship of the clock. Obviously, this only applies to analog clocks (the ones with hands), since a digital clock is not enhanced significantly by the time showing on the clock.
