A MERICAN
WALTHAM WATCHES.

I've claim, and arc prepared to prove, the
the American watches, manufactured atwaltham,
Mass, are not only equal, but far superior to the
common watches of England, switzerland. mud
France
I-whilo We admit that It would be dincult to
oxcol the masterpieces of the eminent European
manufacturers, and while we do not claim to have
made any decisive improvements over them, VIC
do assert and challenge a successful denial, that
our superior class Of watches are fully equal IN
eUery rs'Jeot, to the most expensive specimens Of
foreign chronometrlcal art.
Hive 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 tho market.
lY.-rho reasons why our Watches possess these
advantages over their European rivals arochicny ,
FYrH because the principle OF tho division Of
labor is carried out In our workshops 10 Its ex.
tremost limits, not IN human Industry only but In
machinery Us well. Every watch passes through
hundreds Of hands and hundreds Of machines
Second. Because we promptly adopt every new
invention to perfect oui machinery and every
pronored improvement IN the structure oiwatchos.
TAird. because in each of the very numerous,
minute, and often microscopic parts OF which
watch Is mado up, We attain, by mechanical pow
or, nearly absolute Mathematical precision and uni
iormity, which 1t is utterly impossible to achieve
by manual labor Wheels, pinions, oscapcments,
balances, springs, and scrows-oIact count tcrparts
in weight circumference, and dimensions-are
turned outby millions by the unorrng because un-
swcrving, iron hands of machinery. Hence, every
watch Of any one style is n true copy Of It's model
V,-Ihcso results enable Us to defy foreign RI
valry, because nosmilar uniformity and precision
is attainablo by hand and because In Wal ham
alone is machinery exclusively employed in the
manufacture Of this Intricate and delicate moch.

ourWatches are simpler In structure and therefore
