WATCHES by WEBSTER AND SON,
Chronometer Makers to the Lords of the Admiralty,
established 132 years, 3, Birchin-lane. The finest description
of Watches at the lowest prices, consistent with maintaining
that character for superiority of workmanship which has dis-
tinguished their establishment dining so long a period. The
Compensated Duplex Watch, upon the principle of their Chro-
nometers, to which Government awarded the prizes three suc-
cessive years, combines perfect accuracy with the utmost ele-
gance, and is not surpassed by the Pocket Chronometer. W.
and Son have devoted considerable time and attention to the
manufacture of the Patent Lever Watch, and considerably
reduced the price; likewise the small Horizontal, for ladies.
They can offer a large selection of Second-hand Watches, at
little above have the original cost. The utmost value allowed
for old Watches, in exchange. The most experienced work-
men in the repairing department are employed on the premises,
for foreign and English manufacture.
