Discover Swiss watch in a 400-year-old tomb in China

The appearance of a Swiss watch in a 400-year-old tomb is confusing Chinese archaeologists. Which wind took it to China? This is what makes the watch more mysterious than ever.

According to the People's Daily, the clock stopped at 10:06 in the morning and on the back of the clock engraved the word 'Switzerland'.

The watch was discovered when archaeologists were making a documentary with two journalists in Thuong Tu town, Sichuan province.

'When we swept the soil around the coffin, a stone fell to the ground with a metallic clinking,' said Jiang Yanyu, who worked at the Guangxi Autonomous Museum.

Which wind has brought the watch to China?This is the question that is causing headaches for archaeologists.

Scientists cannot explain why the English word 'Switzerland' is engraved on the back of the tiny watch by in Switzerland at the time people spoke French and German. They believe that the tomb is completely intact and has never been opened since it was built in the Ming Dynasty 400 years ago.

In 1541 Geneva had a flashy jewelry ban, so the watch became popular because it was considered a necessity. So far, no documents have been found about the popularity of this watch in Europe until 1780. This has further increased the mystery of the watch.

Archaeologists have stopped digging to wait for experts from Beijing to help decipher the mystery.
