What happens if no-one claims, presumably the manufacturer doesn't want to store it forever? Are they hoping that eventually they come into ownership of the watch via the same process of adverse possession and can use it for parts or?

@ChrisFletcher the manufacturer knows who bought the watch initially and who reported it stolen.

1) Which court would hear the case - a Polish court (where OP lives), a Swiss court (where the manufacturer and watch are), or a German court (where the original owner presumably lives)? Or is there a court specifically to hear cross-country cases?

@moonman Heard of the case where a guy tried to buy a Harrier jet with Pepsi points? (Netflix series on it). Pepsi won because Pepsi sued first. Thus they got to choose the venue to one notoriously favorable to big business. Same applies here, you have 2 parties who want the watch, and whoever sues first chooses the venue they think is most favorable to them. The others can file a motion objecting to the venue, of course.

@ChrisFletcher the manufacturer has one interest here: avoid a situation where they choose party X, send the watch to party X, and then a court of law tells them they should've chosen party Y.
