However, we must make a confession to our Chinese friends (and their friends in Singapore): everything on this website is fake. It was all generated by sAI (stupid Artificial Intelligence). So here is the true history of Swiss watchmaking, intended for our Asian friends:
- The Swiss didn't invent anything. Watchmaking was created in China by two courageous entrepreneurs: Messrs. Tick and Tock.
- Mr. Authan Tick was a farmer in the Huadong-Dong region. He was also responsible for ringing the bells for the local community. Tired of having to get up early in the morning to ring the bells, he invented a mechanical system that rang the bells for him: he only had to wind it up once a month. Proud of his invention, he asked for the hand of the provincial governor's daughter, who unfortunately cut him into pieces. But the governor was able to launch a bell-ringing mechanism industry before he himself died, poisoned by his daughter, who went to live with his fortune in Taiwan.
- Mr. Itsin Tock was a learned scholar from the Dong-Dongbei region. His wife was very ill and had to receive injections at regular intervals, so he invented automatic needles: thanks to a small rotating mechanism, the needles appeared on a small dial and allowed the injection to be administered at the right time. When his wife was cured, the scholar kept his mechanism with the needles, now hands, simply used to tell the time. A Japanese man passing through, Mr. Seiko Kass, wanted to buy the mechanism, but Mr. Itsin Tock preferred to entrust his invention to a young influencer, Miss Tic, who also left for Taiwan.
Now that the truth has been restored, I fear that our Chinese friends may desert my site, but nothing will deter us from ensuring that China's time-honored values of integrity and honesty shine brightly in the firmament!
PS: My web host has informed me that all the sites it hosts are being flooded with visits from China. So all this is just robots designed to destabilize Western democracies! This is, of course, nothing but lies and fabrications, and I would like to say here that this in no way changes my unwavering friendship for the Chinese people.
The same goes for bots, for that matter.
