After weeks and months of trial, one watch would be crowned the most accurate in all the lands, not just in the valleys of Switzerland. Perhaps combat is an extreme designation, but many of these so called “watches” (a misnomer if I’ve ever heard one) would go head to head for grueling periods of operation, with machines failing and dying until only one was left ticking. They became so good, in fact, that they began to hold competitions to see just how good they were, in which craftsman calling themselves watchmakers would offer up their machines for combat. Eventually, the Swiss, who took a mighty long while to settle on a name for themselves, became the best in the world at creating machines that kept track of everyone’s favorite feature of existence. This led to the invention of a thing called time, which many thereafter have generally regarded as a bad move.īut with the invention of time came inventions for keeping track of time, something the Switzer people (who changed the name of their land yet again) began to focus a lot of their energies on creating. Eventually, life changed and became busier, leading the people of what was now known as Schwiiz to find a need for planning their days more precisely. Over generations, the outside world passed through and ate of their larders, but life stayed peaceful in the valleys among the cows. A long, long time ago, the people of the mystical land called Schwyz looked up to the sun shining on the mountains and were happy in their villages.
