A M ERICAN
WALTHAM WATCHES.

I've claim, and are prepared to prove. thI
the American Watches, manufactured atwaltham,
Mass, are not only equal but far superior TO the
common watches of England Switzerland, and
France
I1-whne we admit that It would be dinicult to
excel the masterpieces Of the eminent European
manufacturers and while we do not claim to have
made any decisive Improvements over them, we
do assert and challenge a successful denial, that
our superior class of watches are fully equal, IN
egsry respect to the most expensive specimens OF
foreign chronometrcul art.
live claim that our Watches are cheaper
more accurate less complex, more durable, bet.
ter adapted for American use AMI more easily
kept in order aud repaired than any other watches
in the market.
Iv.-The reasons why our Watches possess these
dyantages over their European rivals are chiefly ;
First Because tho principle Of the division OF
labor is carried out in our workshops 10 its eN.
trcmest limits, not in human industry only but in
machinery as we'll Every watch passes through
hundreds OF hands and hundred, o. machines.
Second. Because We promptly adopt every new
invention to perfect our machinery, and every
proncrcd Improvement in the structure oiwatches.
7hiyd Because in each Of the very numerous,
minute, and often microscopic parts Of which II
er, nearly absolute mathematica precision and uni
idrnty, which it is utterly impossible 10 achieve
Uy manual labor. Wheels, pinions, escapcmcnts,
balances springs, and screws-eXHct counte parts
in weight, circumference, and dmensions-ar,
turned out by millions by the uneTing because un-
swcrving, iron hands OF machinery. Hence, every
watch Of any one style is true copy OF its model
these results enable us to defy foreign ri
valry, because no osimilar uniformity and precision
is attainable by hand, ami because in Wal ham
alone is machinery exclusively employed in the
manufacture Of this intricate and delicate mech
aui,m.
NL-Now, rs will he seen at once this similarity
in structure reduces the cost Of production it Sc.
cures uniformity in results; It rcipcuut,s and in.
Ctiiibiy dinuscs my excellence that may be once
achieved; and makes it easy to repair any injury
~ustaincd, or replace any part that may be lost or
destroyed
NlI-ln addition to these mechanical advantages,
ourWatchcs are simplerin structure, and therefore
stronger, ndlcsS likely to he injured than the ma
jort Of rorcign watches. They are composed OF
from 10 to 300 pieces In an OLD English watch
there are more than 700 parts.
NIIl.-We began our experiment in 1853 in the
face OF II Formidable prejudice against American
watches. our system wus new and untried We
have steadily increased our facilities until now
we employ over 700 arts and sell ~ go watches
a year. Nearly aquartcr Of million OF fourwatches
arc in use to-day in every State ol the Union, a.
well as in the Mexican and British Provinces anu
Colonies Their universal popularity is the best
proof Of their merit that we can produce They
have won their way in spite OF every opposition
ando immcmorial preiudices Hundreds Of deal.
ers all over the country have pressed then pref
crcnce lorourproducts after long and practical
cNperiencew rh roreign watches.
Any Of the grades OF Wultham Watches may be
purchased of watch dealers generally throughout
the country.
