Swiss watch discovered inside a sealed 400 year old chinese tomb

Swiss Watch Found in 400-Year Old Chinese Tomb | Weird Asia News

While some mysteries are occasionally solved, the majority tend to live on forever without the truth being revealed. One in the latter category concerns the recent discovery of a century-old Swiss watch discovered in an ancient Chinese tomb that has been sealed for more than 400 years.




How did it get there? This is the question haunting the archaeologists who discovered the Swiss watch in an ancient tomb in Shangsi, southern China, they believed had not been opened since its occupant’s funeral, which occurred during the Ming Dynasty (15-16th centuries).

The miniature watch, which is in the shape of a ring, is thought to be barely a century old. The mysterious timepiece was encrusted in mud and rock and had stopped at 10:06 am. On the back of the watch, the word, ‘Swiss’ is engraved.
Its presence raises more questions than answers… like: Where did the watch come from? Could the watch/ring have been planted at the tomb, but if so, why and by whom?
The known facts do not really help in this case.
The Ming Dynasty did have its own unique age of watch making, but that does not explain why the word, ‘Swiss’ on the back of the watch is engraved in English. In Geneva, Switzerland, other languages were more common, namely French and German.
In 1541 in Geneva, there was a ban on flashy jewelry, so the idea of a watch/ ring might make some sense, as a watch was considered practical and essential. Still, there is no record anywhere of ring/watches being popular in Europe until after 1780, which only deepens the mystery.
The archaeologists were filming a documentary with two journalists when they made the puzzling discovery.
The dig has been suspended and researchers are currently awaiting the arrival of some experts from Beijing to help them unravel this most unsettling mystery.
Anyone know what time it is?

That could simply imply that the tomb was not afterall a sealed one.Most probably opened by someone in the late 19th century or later,when excavation of such tombs was a craze among the archaeologists and tomb raiders,alike.. And maybe later sealed again,after they found what they were looking for.And in the process, maybe someone 'forgot' his watch there.. I dont see how else a 100 year old watch can emerge from a 400 year old tomb..
