This is a translation of a police report on the watch, based on an examination by a Norwegian watch maker:
Bergen police, Forensic dept.
Bergen, December 8th 1970
Report regarding the finding of the fire-damaged body of an unknown woman in Isdalen, Bergen Sunday November 29th 1970.
Author: Detective sergeant Gunnar Førsund.
To the left of the womans thigh, a watch with a leather strap was found. The part of the strap connecting to the buckle seemed to be slightly burnt on the inside, while it was unscathed on the outside. The part of the strap with the holes seems to have been burnt over aproximately 2,5 cm from the watch. The stub that remains on the watch is somewhat charred. The rest of the strap has not been found. The glass, that was made of plastic, is melted and cover parts of the dial. The watch had stopped at 1232. The dial is marked "Solo".
The place where the watch was found - in connection with the burning of the strap - seems to indicate that the woman did not wear the watch on her arm. It is reasonable to belive that the watch was located in a purse - remains of which was also found at the site.
The watch has been examined by watchmaker Bernhard Knutsen, who has given the following statement:
He has not heard of the marque "Solo". Inquieries at the Norwegian watchmakers guild has revealed that the marque is also unknown to them. The watch has no fabrication mark, nor a number. There is no mark showing that it has been purchased through a watchmaker. There is no mark from repair. The watch is considered a boys watch with a gentlemans strap. It is reasonably new. (Little used). The strap on the watch seems to be the original strap. The clockwork is cheap. The same type of clockworks were used in the first years after the last world war, but the watchmaker has not seen similar clockworks for many years. The numbers on the dial is not common on watches in the Nordic countries, and he think that it is unlikely that the watch has been sold in Scandinavia. The watch can not have been in the open for long, and it has not been subjected to very strong heat. The clock spring has run aproximately half way. The watch would have kept running for another eight to twelwe hours.
Watchmaker Knudsen has later ascertained that the watch has been produced at Langendorf Watchcompany, Langendorf, Switzerland.
