WALTHAM WATCHES.

! 1--we claim, and are prepared to prove, thu
the American Watches, manufactured atwaltham
Mass, not only equal, but far superior to tn,
common watches Of England, Switzerland, snt
France
H.-while we admit that it would be difficult tC
excel 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 "a
sssrv respect, to the NEST 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.-Ths reasons why oar Watches possess these
advantages over their European rivals are chiefly
FI~s'. Because the principle Of the division of
labor is carried out In our workshops 10 its ex.
tremsst limits not in humsn industry only, but in
machinery as well. Every watch passes through
hundreds Of hands and hundreds oil machines
Sscsad. Because we promptly adopt every new
invention to perfect our machinery, and every
proGered improvement in the structure OF watches
Third. Because in each of the very numerous
minute, and oftOn microscopic parts Of which
watch is made up, we attain, by mechanical pow
err, nearly SbSoiuts mathematical precision and uni
formity, which it is utterly impossible to achieve
by manual labor Wheels, pinions oscapements,
balances, springs and screws-sxact countei parts
in weight circumference, and dmensions-are
turned out by millions by the unsrring because
swerVing, iron hands of machinery. Hence, every
watch Of any one style is true copy of its model
V.-lhese results enable us to defy foreign ri
valry, because nosimilar uniformity and precision
is attainable by hand, and because in Wal ham
alone is machinery exclusively employed in the
manufacture of this intricate and delicate mech
anism.
VL-Now, as will he seen at once this similarity
in structure reduces the cost of production IL Sc.
cures uniformity in results it tperpetuates and IN.
Cati6lv diGruses any excellence that may be once
aohievedi and makes 1t easy to repair any injury
sustained, or replace any part that muy be lost or
destroyed.
ViIIn addition to these me echan cal AZ advantages
ourWatches are simple in structure and therefore
stronger md less likely to be injured than the ma
jorty of foreign watches. They are composed of
from l25 to 200 pieces. In an old English watch
there more than TOO parts
vIII.-we began our experiment in 1853 In the
face of formidable prsjudice against American
watches. Our system was new and untred We
have steadily increased our facilities until now |
we employ ovsr70O arts TINS, and sell 10 600 watche,
a year Nearly quarter of million ofour watches |
are in use to-day in every State of the Union, as
well as in the Mexican and British Provinces anu
Colonies. Their universal popularity &. the best
proof of their merit that we can produce. They |
have won their way in spite of every opposition
and o, immsmorial prejudices Hundreds of deal.
ers all over the country have expressed their pref
erenee for rourproducts after long and practical
experience W th foreign watches.
Amy of the grades of Waltham Watches may be |
purchased of watch dealers generally throughout
the country.
