Time travel

Pasko Kuzman is a self-proclaimed time traveller. He wears three watches on his left wrist, which he says help him travel through time: one takes him back to the Bronze and Neolithic Age, one takes him to the future, and the third is "The Archeologists' Watch," which alerts him to the presence of gold.^[3] His claims about achieving time manipulation have led scholars to believe he may be mentally unstable.^[4]
