WALTHAM WATCHES.


1--we claim, and are prepared to prove tia
the American watches manufactured atwaltham.
Mass. not only equal, but far superior to the
common watches Of England, Switzerland, and
France
H.--While we admit that 1t would be diGicult 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 a successful denial that
our superior class Of watches are fully equal, IN
evory reIIsOt, to the most expensive specimens Of
foreign chronometrcal art
II We claim that our Watches are cheaper.
more accurate, less complex, more durable, bet.
ter adapted Tor American use, AMI more easily
kept in order and repaired than any other watches
in the market.
Iv.-The reasons why our Watches possess these
dvantages over their European rivals arechie1y
Fgrst 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
pronerod improvement in the structure OF 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
er, ncary absolute mathematical precision and uni
tOrmity which it is utterly impossible to achieve
uy manual labor, Wheels, pinions, escapements
balances, springs, and screws-exact counte parts
in weight, circumference, and dimensions-ar,
turned out by millions by the unsrring because
swerving, iron hands Of machinery. Hence, every
watch Of any style is true copy OF its model
V.-Ihesc results enable us to defy foreign ri
valry, because osmilar uniformity and precision
is attainable by hand anu because in Wal ham
alone Is machinery exclusively employed in the
manufacture Of this intricate and delicate mech
anism
VI-Now, as will bo seen at once this similarity
in structure reduces the cost of production; II
cures uniformity in results it perpeluutes and IN
ftHiJIy dinuses my excellence that may be once
achievedi and makes it easy to repair any injury
sustained, or replace any part that may be lost or
destroyed
VGl-In addition to these mechanical advantages
curWatches are simplcrin structure, and therefore
stronger nd less likely to be injul cd than the ma.
jortj of foreign watches They are composed OF
from i.5 to 800 pieces In an old English watch
there are more than TOO parts.
NIII.-we began our experiment in 1853 in the
face OF u formidable prejudice against American
watches. our system was new and unlred. We
have steadily increased our facilities, until now
we employ over 700 arts an and sell 20 OCO watche,
year Nearly quarter OF million orour watches
are in use to-day in every State OF the Union, AS
well as in the Mexican ana British Provinces anu
Colonies. Their universal popularity is the best
proof OF their merit that we can produce. They
have won their way in spite Of every opposition
dndo imm0morial prejudices. Hundreds OF deal
ers all over the country have expressed their pre
erence iOrourproducts after long and practical
experience tn foreign watches.
ANY OF the grades OF Waltham Watches may be
purchased Of watch dealers generally throughout
the country
