Answer:
10 PM.
Step-by-step explanation:
12 noon = 12 noon,
1 pm = 12.43,
2 pm = 1.26,
3 pm = 2.09,
4 pm = 2.52.

Given that, the watch was correct at noon.
After that, it started to lose 17 minutes per hour.
Let's see at what time the watch shows now because it is running 43 minutes per hour :
★ When its 12 noon :
★ When its 1 : 00 PM :
★ When its 2 : 00 PM :
★ When its 3 : 00 PM :
★ When its 4 : 00 PM :
Its said that until 6 hours, ago, it stopped completely.
