WALTHAM WATCHES,

| I've claim, and are prepared to prove III q
the American Watches, manufactured atwaltham
Mass, are not only equal, but far superior to the
common watches Of England Switzerland, and
France
| H-While we admit that it would be difficult "a
| 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
eUeyg respect, to the most expensive specimens OF
foreign chronometrical art.
! live claim that our Watches are cheaper.
more accurate less complex, moro durable, bet
ter adapted for American use, amt more easily
kept in order and repaired than any other watches
in the market.
~. The reasons why our Watches possess these
dvantages over their European rivals arechleny
Fyra Because the principle Of this division ol
labor is carried ont in our Workshops 10 its eS-
trcmest limits, not In human industry only, but in
machinery IS 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
proGered improvement in the structure OF watches
Third Because in each of the very numerous
minute, and often microscopic parts of which u
watch is made up, we attain by mechanical pow.
er, nearly absolute mathematical precision and uni
iormily, which us utterly impossible to achieve
ny manual labor. Wheels, pinons escapcmcnts
balances. springs, and screws-exact counte parts
in weight, circumference and dmunsiOns-ar,
turned outby millions by the unerring because un-
swcryins, iron hands o machinery. Hence every
watch Of any one style isa true copy Of its model.
v, hcsc results enable us to defy foreign ri
yalry, because nosimilar uniformity and precision
is attuinable by hand, amt because in Wal ham
alone is machinery exclusively employed in the
manufacture OF this Intricate and delicate mech
anism,
VL-Now, ~ viii he seen at once this similarity
in structure reduces the cost Of production It Sc
cures uniformity in resull5i itperpetuatUs and IN
Jdi,i6iy difruscs my excellence that may he one,
achieved and makes It easy to repair any injury
sustained, replace any part that may be lost on
destroyed.
Vll-In addition tothcss mechanical advantages
ourWatchcs are smpcrin structure and therefore
stronger, md less likely to be injured than the ma
lority of foreign watches. They are composed ol
from is5to SOOpieccs In an old English watch
there are more than 700 parts.
NllI--wc began our experiment in 1859 In tn,

watches our system was new and uutricd We
have steadily increased our facilities until nov
