THE extensive use of these WATCHES for
the last fifteen years by Railway Conductors,
Engineers and E1pressmen, the most exacting
of watch-wearers, has thoroughly demonstrat-
ed the strength, steadiness, durability and
accuracy of the Walthan Watch. To satisfy
that class i'll all these respects, is to decide
tho question as to the real value of these time
keepers.
Moro than 100000 of these watches are
now speaking for themselves in tho pockets of
the peoplc-a proof and guarantee of their
superiority over all others.
Tho superior org ganization and great extent
of the Company's Works at Waltham, enable
them to produce watches at q price which
renders competiotion futile, and those who
buy any other watch, merely pay from 25 to
so per cent. more for their watches than is
necessary.
We are now selling Waltham Watches at
less prices in greenbacks, than the gold prices
before tho war. There is no other manufac-
turc OF any kind in the United States of which
this can be said.
These time pieces combine every improve
ment that long experience has proved of
real practical use. Having had the refusal of
nearly every invention in watch making origi-
mating in this country or in Europe, only those
were finally adopted which severe testing, by
the most skllful artisans in our works, and
long use on the part of the public, demonstrat-
ed to be essential to correct and enduring
timc-keeping. RB-Among the many improve
ments we would particularize:
The invention and use OF a centre-pinion of
peculiar construction, to prevent damage to
the train by the breakage of main-springs, is
original with the American Watch Company
who, having had tho refusal of all other con-
trivances, adopted Fogg's patent pinion as be
ing tho best and faultless
Hardened and tempered hair springs, now
universally admitted by watch makers to be
the best, are used in all grades of Waltham
Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps,
protecting the movement from dust and les-
sening the necessity of the frequent cleaning
necessary in other watches.
Our new patent stcm-winder, or keyless
watch, is already decided success, and
great improvement on any stem winding watch
in the American market, and by far the cheap
est watch of its quality now offered to the
public. To those living in portions of the
United States where watch makers do not
abound, watches with the above mentioned
improvements which tend to insure accuracy,
cleanliness, durability and convenience, must
prove invaluable.
