AM ERICAN
WALTHAM WATCHES

1--we claim, and are prepared to prove tn
the Amoricanw atchcs manufactured atwaltham,
Mass, are not only equal, but far superior to the
common watches Of England, Switzerland and
France
'U.-Whlle we admit that II would be dinicult to
excel the masterpieces Of the eminent European
manufacturers and while wo do not claim to have
made any decisive Improvements over them, we
do assert aud challenge successful denial that
our superior class of watches are fully equal, IN
srery respect, to the most expensive specimens OF
foreign chronometrical art
II we claim that our Watches are cheaper.
more accurate less complex, move durable, bet.
ter adapted Tor American use, amt more easily
kept in order and repaired than any other watches
in the market.
IV.-The reasons why our watches possess these
dvantages over their European rivals srechieny1
FYrst Because the principle ol the division OF
labor is carried out in our workshops 10 its eX-
trcmest limits not in human industry only but in
machlner, As well Every watch passes through
hundreds OF hands and hundreds Sl machines.
Second. because we promptly adopt every new
invention TO perfect our machiuery, and every
prolrored improvement in the structure OF watches.
TAird. Because in each Of the very numerous
minute and often microscopic parts Of whi' h a
watch is made up we attain by mechanical pow
er nearly absolute Mathematical precision and uni
iolmity, which it is utterly impossible TO achieve
ny manual labor. Wheels, pinons, escapements
balances springs and screws--exact counte parts
in weight, circumference and dimensions-aro
turned out by millions by the unerring because un.
swerving iron handsol machinery. Hence, every
watch Of any one style is a true copy Of its model
V.-lheso results enable us to defy foreign ri
valry, because nosimilar uniformity and precision
is attoinable by hand, and because in Wal ham
alone is machinery exclusively employed in the
manufacture Of this Intricate and delicate mech
anism
Nl-Now, as will be seen at once this similarity
in structure reduces the cost Of production; it Sc
cures uniformity in results it tpcrpetuatos ahd in.
JdHibiy diGuses my excellence that may he once
achieved; and makes it easy to repair any injur!
sustnined, or replace any part that may be lost Or
destroyed.
VlI-ln addition to these mechanical ad dvantagcs,
ourWatchcs are simplerin structure, and therefore
stronger, nd likely to be injured than the ma
iorit' of foreign watches. They are composea Of
from l:5 to OOpieces In AN OLD English watch
there are more than 700 parts
NIII.--We began our experiment in 1853 in the
face OF a formidable prejudice against American
watches. our system was new ana untried We
have steadily increased our facilities until now
we employ over 700 nrtis tus aud sell 10 go watches
year. Nearly quarter Of million ofour watches
are in use To-day in every State OF the Union, rs
well rs in the Mexican and British Province ana
Colonies. Their universal popularity is The best
proof OF their merit that We can produce. They
nave won their way in spite OF every opposition
and immemorial proudices Hundreds OF deal
ers all the country have expressed their pref
erencc for Ourpruducts aitoru long ana practical
expcriencew IN foreign watches
Any Of the grades OF Wultham Watches may be
purchased Of watch dealers generally throughout
the country
