A NJ EEtICA ~
WALTHAM WATCHES.

I've claim and are prepared to prove thu
the American Watches, manufactured atwaltham,
Mass are not only equal but fur superior to the
common watches of England, Switzerland and
France
u-while we admit that II would he difncult to
cxcel 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 n successful denial that
our superior class of watches are fully equal, IL
spsry respscs 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, ami more easily
kept in order aud repaired than aay other watches
! In the market
Iv-The reasons why our watches possess these
advantages over their European rivals are chiefly :
EYrsf because the principle OF the division OF
labor is carried out In our workshops 10 its ex-
tremsst limits, not In human industry only, but in
machinery ~ well Every watch passes through
hundreds of hands and hundreds oil machines.
Second Because we promptly adopt ovsry new
invention to perfect our machinery, and every
proGered i'm mprovement in the structure oi watches
TAird Because in each of the very numerous,
minute and often microscopic parts of which Il
watch is made up, we attain, by mechanical pow
er nearly absolufs mathe ematcal precision and uni
iormiiy, which it is utterly impossible to achieve
ny manual labor Wheels, pinions, Oscapements
balances springs, and scrows-eKact countei parts
in weight oircum ference, and dimenNions-are
turned outby millions by the unsrring because un-
swcrving iron handso machinery. Hence, every
watch Of any style lisa true copy OF its model
V-.hese results enable us to defy foreign ri
valry, because similar 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
anism
| YI-Now, as will be seen at once this similarity
in structure reduces the cost of production; it Sc
cures uniformity in results; itperpetuatcs and in
frHiGly diGuses my excellence that may be once
achieved; and makes it easy to repair any njur!
>ustained, replace any part that may be lost or
destroyed.
VGI-In addition to these mechanical advantages
| ourWatchcs are simpler in structure, and therefore
stronger, nd less likely to he injured than the ma
jort Of foreign watches. They are composed OF
from l.5 to 800 pieces In an OLD English watch
| there are more than TOO parts.
| NIII.-We began our experiment In 1853 in tn,
race OF a formidable prejudice against American
watches, our system was new dnd untried We
| have steadily increased facilities, until nov
employ 100 artis ms and sell 10 90 watches
ayoar. Nearly aquGrter OF million olOur watches
are in use to-day in every state OF the Union, as
| well us In the Mexican and British Provinces ano
Colonies Their universal popularity IL the best
! proof OF their merit that we can produce. They
have won their way in spite OF every opposition
ando immemorial preiudices. Hundreds Of deal
ers all over the country have pressed their pref
ercnce fOrOurprVducts after long aud practical
experience tn foreign watches.
Any Of the grades Of WathHm Watches may be
purchased of watch dealers generally throughout
the country,
