LONDON, J.E.

As the purchase of • Watch may be the act of a life.
time. it is advisable to buy • good article, which will be
found the cheapest in the end MR. LEVER'S reputation
and his Watohes are alike known all over the World, and
therefore purchasers will consult their own interest in
buying a good article of an eminent London Manufac-
turer.

Of all nuisances. n bad watch is perhaps one of the
worst,—it is continually stopping and getting out of
order—costing its owner no end of expanse 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 experience at the trade,
in addition to which they take their time to finish every
part so 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
• rough ant unfinished state; thereby causing • large
amonnt of wear and tear, and an unnecessary amount of
friction, which must in the end prove detrimental to its
timekeeping; this of coarse is only known to its maker,
for a Watch 172117 be bad and yet look good, and for • few
months keep time tolerably well ; which is especially the
case with many of the Watches that are made is the
country, and is much to be regretted slit will in the end
lower us in the eyes of the world, who now all look to
England for the best Watches.

The reuon there are so few really good and experis
enced watchmakers living in country places, is that as
coon as they gate good knowledge of their business, they
settle in London, or some other large city, where they
have a better opportunity of improving themselves and
bettering their condition than they could in obscure
country towns. Many of these in their own native places
have the reputation of being really competent workmen,
but when they arrive in London. they ere found to require
many years of improvement, before they can even be en.
trusted to repair a good London Witch—a fact that will
show bow much more competent town workmen ace,
compared with their brethren living in rural distriets,
and proves that London IVstchmakers really deserve the
world wide repaturon they have to honourably earned
far themselves.

From ca'culationa made, it has been asceitained th,
the cost of ,•-pairing S common Watch, when it has bet
in wear a few years, is often more than the price pad
for it in the first instance; besides the trouble and an•
noyance it causes so that an apparently cheap Watch
may in the end prove • dear one, it it costs as much or
mere than its value in a few years for repairs, and even
then the owner hati nothing to show for the money, bit
is being constantly misled regarding the time.

It fri quently happens that the makers of inferior
Watches aware of the ddflculty of finding purchasers,
adopt the espedient of putting the names of eminent
manufmtaters on them—this practice is unfortunately
very frequently done, and haa caused us several times to
have recourse to law proceedings, in consequence of cur
name being used ; but to be continually going to law,

If there is one thing more than another, we should be
