Since the watch to the right is not shot and shows the same time as every other watch it is unlikely thet the shot watches show the time of the murder. If all watches are stopped except the right one, it could have been exactly 12h before. But if it's a watchmaker its also unlikely that every watch was set to the same time.

Hello fellow Far Side fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.
The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side

Watchmakers usually set all clocks to 10 past 10 because it looks like a smile.
The clocks also probably stopped when shot, while the person might have lived a few minutes longer until they bled out.
It's a clock, not a watch, and it could have been shot through the side, which is not visible from this perspective. ... and we are way overthinking this lol.
It intrigues me that they all show the time that watches in commercials usually have. But I don't know if I should think further about that or if something is flying above my head.
