GREAT ACHIEVEMENT OF MECANICAL IN-
GENtrnr.—There is now to be seen at Bd ennett's, the well-
known watch manufacturer of Chea • gold hunting-
watch. of so remarkable a character as it3ostwelladeserve descrip-
tion in our columns. In addition to being a timekeeper.
of the utmost precision, with
ments. compensation. balance, and cylindrical adjist-
sprir!g,
it exhibits on the dial plate the following different in-
dications : first, the equation of time • the
moon's age ; thirdly, the month of the ye'or • fourthly,ny,
day of the month, in addition to the hours, minutes, thed
seconds as in an ordinary watch. The mechanisms,"ans
contrived that any one or the whole of the hands
may may be set forwards or backwards at pleasure without
deranging the rest. Mr. Bennett, the manufacturer of this
remarkable production, naturally regards it as one of the
highest triumphs of modern horological science; for these ex-
traordinary timekeepers have hitherto beenconsidered rather
as
.mechanical rriftrvels thanas of practical use. In this
case every movement is laid down in the strictest pro-
portion and based upon calculations of an absolutely
scientific character. Although it has taken more than a
twelvemonth in its productiorp and is enclosed in a hand-
some gold case. it is within the compass of a pocket
time-keeper. We strongly recommend those of
ou'r'readers interested in mechanical science to avail them-
selves of this opportunity of gratifying their curiosity as to
What is possible to be effected by the enterprise of one of
our leading watch manufacturers.—Mechanics' Magazine.
