WALTHAM WATCHES.

1--we claim, and are prepared to prove tn
the American Watches, manufactured atw altman.
Mass, are not only equal, but far superior to the
common watches Of England, Switzerland and
France.
H.-While we admit that It would he difficult to
excel 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 successful denial that
our superior class of watches are fully equal, Ia
ssery 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, amt more easily
kept in order and repaired than any other watches
in the market
GV.-rhe reasons why oar 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 10 its ex-
tremest limits, not in human industry only, but in
machinery as well, Every watch passes through
hundreds Of hands and hundreds oil machines.
Second Because we promptly adopt every new
invention to perfect our machinery, and every
pronered improvement in the structure o watches.
Third, Because in each of the very numerous,
minute, and often microscopic parts of which II
watch is made up, we attain, by mechanical pow
or, near aSsoIuts mathematical precision and uni
lormity, which 1t is utterly impossible to achieve
t,.s laI,,
balances springs, and screws-exact counte. parts
in weight circumference, and dimensions-are
turned outby millions by the unorring because un-
swerving, iron hands OF machinery Hence every
watch of any one style is true copy of it's model
v hese results enable US to defy foreign ri
vslry, because nosimilarunirormity and precision
is attalnabe by hand, and because in Wal ham
alone is machinery exclusively employed in the
manufacture of this intricate and delicate mech
anism,
| VI-Now, as will be seen at once this similarity
in structure reduces the cost OF production 1t Sc
cures uniformity in results it perpetuatos ana tr-
EaHi5ly difusea my excellence that may he once
achieyed and makes it easy to repair any injury
sustained, replace any part that may be lost or
destroyed
! VII--In addition to these mechanical advantages,
ourWatches are simpler In structure and therefore
stronger nd less likely to be injured than the ma
jority of foreign watches. They are composed OF
from i:5 to 800 pieces. In an old English watch
there are more than TOO parts.
VIII,-Wc began our experiment In 1853 in the
raco Of a formidable prejudice against Amerlcan
watches. Our system was new and untried We
have steadily increased our facilities, until now
we employ 700 urts ms and sell 10 600 watche-
d year. Nearly aquartGr OF million ol0ur 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 is the beat
proof OF their merit that we can produce. They
have won their way in spite OF every opposition
ando nmsmorial prejudices. Hundreds OF deal.
all over the country have expressed their pref
erence orour products alter long and practical
experience tn foreign watches.
Any Of the grades OF Waltham Watches may be
purchased of watch dealers generally throughout
the country.
