THE ORNAMiNTATION OF WATCHI44 WITH FINE
Are Drsviss.—“ It Is singular that our Fagtish manufacturers
of watches have overlooked the Importance of superior art.
designs for their productions. The fact is the costliness of ma-
terial and perfection of mechanism in the smallest compass en•m
heretofore to have been looked upon as the exclusive stand:ink
by which a watch could be Judged, the ornamentation Teeing
considered of no Importance. Significant signs of Impeuvement
are, however, indicated by at least one manufacturer. As oh-
servers of progress In all departments of art and manufactures.
we fuel much pleasure In adding our testimony to the fine taste
which has been displayed in the selection of artistic designs for
ornamenting watches by Mr. J. W. Benson, of tl3 and..i,
the manufacturer referred to. Mr. Benson. as a long-
established City manufacturer, has gained a reputation toe tie,
quality of his productions which stands second to none in the
City.- —Sun. Denson's Illustrated Pamphlet, post free foe ;no
