This is to give a smily watch + it is aesthetically more pleaseing than f.ex. 10 past 3. Also you see more of the Dial that way and for most watches you see the Manufacturer name and model number as well as other details like COSC or other specific things pertaining to the watch model.

They said that the 10:10 looks like a smiley face and that is why they choose this time. The watch or the clock is always smiling whenever you look at it.
