It looks like it has a ridge running around the outer edge of the face, combined with a slightly concave centre. It also appears to be silver /metallic rather than white...

Could be a Raymond Weil but again no current models appear to match.

The name is two words and the second appears to be much shorter than the first.

How sad am I.

Raymond Weil was the name that sprang to my mind but it almost appears to have pie pan type face - may just be the light or the angle of the shot though.
