You may know that it's common to photograph analoge clocks with their arms
set to a position that makes them look cheerful, roughly 01:50 or 10:10.
For example,

When photographing one of their phones, HTC also set the phone's clock to
a cheerful time, even though the display is usually digital. For example,
