LONDON,

As the purchase of a Watch may be the act of a life-
time, it i• advisable to buy a good article, which will be
found the cheapest in the end Ma. Lermis reputation
and his Watphes are alike known all over the World, and
thercfore purchasers will consult their own interest in
buying a good article if an eminent London Manufac-
turer. •

Of all nuisances. a bad watch is perhaps one of the
worst,—it is continually stopping and getting out of
order,—costing its owner no end of expense for repairs,
and even then the time it keeps can never be depended
on.
To make this subject thoroughly understood, it is
necessary here to state that a good Watch is made of the
best materials and the workmen employed are those of
superior skill, who have had great experienceat the trade,
in addition to which they take their time to finish every
part as correctly and exact as possible; but in a common
article, the price will not admit of much time being de-
voted to its manufacture, inferior workmen also are em-
ployed, who frequently leave those parts out of sight in
a rough any uunnished date ; thereby causing a large
amonnt of wear and tear, and an unnecessary amount of
friction, which must in the end prove detrimental to its
timekeeping; this of course is only known to its inelier,
foes Watch may be bad and yet look good, and fur a few '
months keep time tolerably well; which is especially the
case with many of the Watches that are made ire the
country, and is 11Inell to be regretteA as it will in the end
lower as in the eyes of the world, who now all look to
England for the beat Watches.
The reason there are no few really good and experi.
enced watchmakers living in country places, is that as
soon as they get n good knowledge of their business, they
settle in Loudon, or some other large city, where they
have a better opportunity of improving themselves and
bettering their condition than they et ould in obscure
country towns. Many of these in their own native places
have the reputation of being really competent wutkmen,
but when they arrive in London, they are found to require
many years of improvement, before they can even be en-
trusted to repair a good London Watch—a fact that will
show how much more competent tows workmen are,
compared with their brethren living in rural districts,
and proves that London Watchmakers really deserve the
world wide reputation they have so honourably earned
for themselves.

From calculations made, it hu been ascertained that
the cost of repairing a common Watch, when it has been
in ',oar a few yeare, is often more than the price paid
far it in the brat instance; besides the trouble and an-
noyance it causes, so that an apparently cheap Watch
may in the arid prove a dear one, it it costa U 8 much or
mere thee its value in stew years for repairs, and even
that, the oat,. has nothiug to show for the u:oney, but
is hemg eohaluht:y mislad rcip.rdiog the time

It frequently happens that the inultvrs of inferior
Watches aware of the difficulty of purchasers,
adoi:t the expedient of putting the Eames of eminent
manufacturers on them—this practice Is unfortunately
very frequently done, and has caused us several times to
have recourse to law proceedings, in consequence of our
name being used; but to be continually going to law,
occasions • great loses, so it may perhaps in some degree
lessen the evil by giving publicity to it, and we would
advise all persons about to purchase Watches called
" LEvt.aa" to communicate with us, and the number,
Irc.. can be traced and thus frustrate any attempts of
this description.

If there is one thing more than auother, we should be
careful to obtain good, it must be that which we shall
always carry about with us; and have ,evabiull several
limes a day to rely upon for its time-ki vping. A good
article by being cleaned occasionally (clout once every
two years) will taut a lifetime, so that after the first outlay
no further expense will be incurred.

The possession of a good Watch is an emblem of res-
pectability, and denotes the position in life of its owner,
and moreover it will always sell for its value, should the
owner at any time wish to dispose of it.
London has always been celebrated for the superiority
of jui Watch, 8, and if we trace bark the early history 01
Horology, we find that whenever a good Vetch was re-
quired it was customary to ceLd to London for one, this
is still done at the present day, and will always continue
while the Londouera keep up the character of their
manufacture.

The confidence the public have in London made
Watch., in not misplaced, their nut eriority is so well
known, and without could, sten a 'sir Bud rewiouabl,
price is paid, a witch may be had that can be dept toed
on for its exact performs, ce.
