Hint
How many watch minutes pass in a real hour?

Answer
12:11pm.

Reasoning
The watch now shows 10:39am, so we know that 10 x 60 + 39 = 639 watch minutes have passed.

Since the watch is losing 6 minutes every hour, for every real hour that has passed, the watch will show 54 minutes.

So, 639 ÷ 54 ≈ 11.8333 real hours have passed.

This equals 710 minutes, which is 11 hours and 50 minutes = 11:50am.

The watch stopped 21 minutes ago, therefore the time must now be 12:11pm.
