tel tor general use, and mere easily Kept
In order and repaired than any o:her
watches in the market, Ghey are simpler
in structure. and therefore stronger and
less Likely to be injured than the majority
of foreign watches, whicn are composed
Of from l25 to 30 pieces, while in an old
English wa'eh there are more than 200
ralt,. How they run under the hardest
illsl wn,cres can have, is shown by the
