HUBLOT- Excuse me, do you have time?- Excuse me, do you know time?Do these two mean the same thing?No.
Excuse me, do you know the time? = What time is it? (This one is unfamiliar to me, so it must be a British English expression.)
Excuse me, do you have the time? = What time is it? (This is American English.)
