Default Do you know what TIME it is?

Don't need to look at my phone any longer.
Special edition of 50 for Porsche. Even has the Logo on glassback.
The strap is the same colors as my car.

No disrespect Igooz but why not google the brand ?

I found this info on ebay , also never heard of the brand :

AWI is a member of the Franck-Muller-Group

*

The watches are manufactured primarily for Porsche owners in Germany
dedicated to 50 years of the Porsche 911.

Most of the 50 watches have individual design and are a prove of the Armenian craftsmanship – 2000 years of history in jewelry making. The modest price is only possible due to low production cost in Armenia.

*

Here info on the basic AWI Cintree Curvex Watch:

*
(all Cintree Curves are "new old stock"
= not produced any more due to its too close similarity to related Franck Muller watches)


The offered watch does not only look like a “Franck Muller”, but the watch and their manufacturing firm are connected to „Franck Muller, Geneva“: The Armenian-born jeweler, CEO and co-founder of Frank Muller, Vardan Sirmakes, is also an owner of the small Armenian watch manufacturer "AWI - Armenian Watch International". In google you can easily find the following:

„...Franck Muller was so fascinated with the success of first watches that in 2003 it gifted one of its models to AWI. That model was shift away from Franck Muller’s production and AWI received a patent on this model, i.e. only AWI can produce it…”

As an Armenian, car guy and watch guy I can honestly say I'm disappointed in this watch design across all 3 descriptors LOL. But OP should enjoy as all tastes are unique when it comes to watch designs.

With all due respect, every question we ask here could be at least partially or fully answered by a Mr. Google search....it's just a friendly conversation here, why not just add to the conversation if you can?
