This story is from 2008: Anachronous discovery: Swiss watch in ancient tomb
Chinese archaeologists have found a tiny Swiss watch in a tomb dating back to the Ming dynasty, which they believed has been intact for four centuries.
The watch was discovered by scientists making a documentary, reports ananova.com website.
The out-of-time piece of jewellery was pressed into the soil covering one of the coffins.
The watch is stopped at 10:06, and there is the word “Swiss” on its back.
Work at the archaeological site has been suspended and experts from Beijing have been called in to help solve this mystery...
That's nothing! When the tomb of Alexander the Great was opened, they found a sundial tied to his wrist with strips of cloth.
Obviously, Alexander's Rag Timeband!
(Points for whomever saw that one coming!)
