WALTHAM WATCHES.


I've claim, and are prepared to prove, III,
the Americanwa Watches, manufactured atwaltham,
Mass, are not only equal, but far superior 10 the
common watches Of England, Switzerland, and
France
H.-While we admit that It would be dinlcult to
excel Che masterpieces Of the eminent European
monjfecture's and while we do not claim to have
made env decisive improvements over them, we
do assert and challenge "a successful denial, that
our superior class Of watches are fully equal, IN
oUery respoN to the most expensive specimens of
foreign chronomctrical art
1.-Two claim that our Watches are cheaper,
more accurate, less complex, more durable, bet.
ter adapted FOR American use and moro easily
kept in order and repaired than any other watches
In the market.
tV.-Thc reasons why our Watches possess these
advantages over their European rivals are chiefly
FyrH. Because the principle Of the division of
labor Is carried out in our workshops 10 It's ex-
tremest limits, not in human industry only, but in
machinery as well. Every watch passes through
hundreds Of hands and hundreds Of machines
Second. because we promptly adopt every new
invention TO perfect our machinery, and every
proncrod Improvement in the structure OF watches.
Third. Because In each of the very numerous,
minute, and often microscopic parts of which a
watch Is made up, we attain, by mechanical pow
er, nearly absolute mathematcal precision and uni
formtyi which it is utterly impossible to achieve
ny mammal labor Wheels, pinions, escapemcnts,
balances springs and screws-oxact counterparts
In weight circumference, aud dimensions-are
turned out by millions by the unerrng because un-
swcrving, iron hands of machinery Hence, every
watch Of any one style is true copy of its model
N--ihesc results enable us to defy foreign ri
valry, because no osmlarunirormitya and precision
Is attanable by hand, and because in Wal ham
alone is machinery exclusively employed in the
Manufacture Of this intricate and delicate mech
anism.
Nl-Now, as will be seen at once this similarity
in structure reduces the cost Of productions il .a.
cures uniformity in results; it perpetuates and g.,
Jaltibty dinuses any excellence that may be once
achieved; and makes It easy to repair any injury |
sustained, or replace any part that may be lost or
destroyed
Nll--m additionto these mechanical advantages |
ourWatches arc simpler in structure, and therefore
stronger and less likely to be injured than the ma
jority of iorcign watches. They are composed of
from lGb to 300 pieces In an old English watch
there are more than 700 parts
NIli-Wc began our experiment in 1858. in the |
face of II formidable prejudice against A american
watches. Our system was new and untricd We
have steadily increased our facilities, until now
we employ oVer7OO artisans and sell 10 900 watche,
ayoar Nearly aquarter OF million of orourwatche, |
are IN use to-day in every State Of the Union, as |
well as In the Mexican and British Provinces and |
Colonies Their universal popularity is the best
proof OF hcrmerit that we can produce They
have won their way in spite Of every opposition
and oi immemorial preludiccs. Hundreds Of ideal
ers all over the country have expressed their pref
oTence iorourproducts altcra long and practical |
experience with foreign watches.
Amy of tho grades of Walthaln Watches may bo
purchased Of watch dealers generally throughout
the country.
