Description: SCP-XXXX is gold complex pocket watch with the brand name ██████ engraved into the back cover. The face of the watch is from first glance is of average design with hour, minute and second hands, with also day, month and year sections on the face of watch, the unusual part of the face is that there is a section of numbers which display at the bottom, the numbers have been reported to be coordinates and reset every use to +██° ██' ██.██", -█° █' ██.██", these coordinates have been located to [REDACTED], location has been classified SCP-XXXX-1. [See Exploration Log XXXX-1-0001.]
SCP-XXXX was found at an antique shop located in [REDACTED], the local residents had reported the shop owner hadn't opened his shop for a considerable period of time, upon investigation by an SCP agent the watch was found on the dead body of the shop owner, time, date and location shown on the object was [DATA EXPUNGED].
On observation there seems only one dial that has no bearing other than to activate the object's mechanics, from the tests that have been conducted the pocket watch reacts to the verbal command from only the subject that is currently holding the object. Once commanded the numbers and date change accordingly to the instructed time, date, and location, once the subject presses in the dial the subject appears to go into a comatose state for a period of time.
The time varies depending on subject and what time, date and coordinates have been instructed to the watch, the longest a subject has been in a comatose state was ███ days, every subject that has woken up after testing SCP XXXX have gained a large array of knowledge from the time, date and coordinates that the object was instructed to enter, these subjects should be classified as SCP-XXXX-A1 increasing number for each subject.
The knowledge that is learned varies from subject to subject, when tested on important, crucial dates and locations the user will wake from the comatose stage and about thirty (30) minutes after the subject will start to show severe dementia it is estimated 2 hours after signs of dementia the subject will die from a rapid stroke in all cases involved with instructing specific dates/locations and upon autopsy the body 80% of the time shows signs of damage from the importance of the time, date and location. [See Note XXXX-B1.]
SCP XXXX has been taken apart to find any unusual components to give an idea on how the watch operates but none have been located within the object, putting all parts back and reconstructing the watch to before dismantled state allows the object to starting to function accordingly. Upon research of the brand name ██████ no evidence has been found to indicate that the brand has ever existed, no clear communication input method is present anywhere on the object, this indicates it maybe sentient.
