A M Et&ICAN
WALTHAM WATCHES.


I've claim, and are prepared to prove tht
the American Watches, manufactured atwaltham,
Mass. are not only equal but far superior to the
common watches of England, Switzerland, and
France.
U-While we admit that it would be difficult to
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
oveyy respect to the most expensive specimens OF
foreign chronometrical art.
live claim that our Watches are cheaper
more accurate less complex more durable, bet
ter adapted for American use and more easily
kept in order and repaired than any other watches
in the market.
Iv.-The reasons why our Watches possess these
advantages over their European rivals are chiefly
First because the principle OF the division Of
labor is carried out in our workshops TO its ex-
tremest limits, not in human industry only but in
machinery as well. Every watch passes through
hundreds Of hands and hundreds Of machines.
Second Because we promptly adopt every new
invention to perfect our machinery, and every
prolered improvement in the structure OF watches.
Third Because in each Of the very numerous,
minute, and often microscopic parts of which a
watch is made up we attain, by mechanical pow
er, nearly absolute Mathematical precision and uni
lormity, which it is utterly impossible to achieve
Dy manual labor. Wheels, pinions, escapements
balances, springs, and screws-eXact counte parts
in weight, circumference and dlmenSions-ar,
turned out by millions by the unerring, because un
swerving, iron handso machinery. Hence, every
watch of any style is a true copy of its model
y.-these results enable us to defy foreign ri
valry because no similar uniformity and precision
is attainable by hand, and because in Wal ham
done is machinery exclusively employed in the
manufacture of this intricate and delicate mech
anism
NI.-NoW, as will be seen at once this similarity
in structure reduces the cost OF production it
cures uniformity in results 1t perpctuatcs and IN
faHily diGuses ,ny excellence that may be once
achieved; and makes it easy to repair any injurl
sustained, replace any part that may be lost or
destroyed
yII-In addition to these mechanical advantages.
ourWatches are resimpleri in structure and Therefore
stronger nd less likely to he injured than the ma
jort, of foreign watches. They are composed OF
from :5 to 800 pieces. In an old English watch
there are more than 100 parts
VIII.-We began our expcr ment in 1853 in tn,
face OF formidable prejudice against American
watches. Our system was new and untried We
have steadily increased our facilities until nov
