gold medal-from the franklin Institute, Phila-
| delphiA, in 1858.
These Watches have been in market for nearly
ten years, during which time they have been tested
as TO accuracy durability, and reliability in every
conceivable manner, and have proved themselves to
be the most satisfactory time-pieccs offered to

application of mechanical science to the consruc-
tion of the Watch from its very inception rem der
ing it when finished, mathematically correct in all
its proportions, and necessarily perfect time

The Company have tested their Watches in

result of this tsst has been that they have exhibit
ed a rate equal in regularity to the best marine
chronomotsr.
