In this age of splendid mechanical triumphs
in which our own country stands so proudly fore.
most, there is one that is just beginning to re-
ceive the attention and prominence that it de-
serves. The same perfection of machinery that
has made Colts firearms the acknowledged best
in the world, after patient experiment, has been
successfully applied to the manufacture Of watch.
The introduction Of American watches marks
era in the history Of time and time keepers
and may well he Joined with the Atlantic lele
graph sewing machines, and other kindred sue
cesses Of mind over matter, which SO wonderfully
distinguish the present period.
Hitherto England and Switzerland have been
the watchmakers of the world Coventry and
Prescott III Lancashire and Warwickshire, in
England, and Loce and La Chaux de Ponds in
the northern cantOns of Switzerland by Lake &c
neva. have been and are the world famed seats of
watch manufacture but now it seems that Wal
than, Mass, has surpassed these old world com
petltOrs, and with machinery, system, and intel
ligent skill, uuaided By protection of any kind,
already produces the most thoroughly exact
timekeepers, at about half the cost of the best for
egn made watches.
All imported watches are made by hand the
movements and parts OF movements by different
persons, and at different times and places and
each watch is finally finished with special refer
ence to itSelf-every part being made to suit only
one place, and the whole movement fitted to a
case which will suit no other movement-Dp
two watches being in all respects approximately
alike.
