The extensive use Of these watches for tho last
fifteen years by Railway Conductors, Engineers
and Expressmen, the most exacting Of watch
wearcrs, has thoroughly demonstrated the strength
steadiness, durability and accuracy of the Walt
ham Watch, To satisfy that class in all these re-
spects, is to decide the question as to the real
value Of these time-keepers.
More than 100000 of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets of the peo-
plea proof and guarantee Of their superiority
over all others.
The superior organization and great extent Of
| the Companys works at Wsltham, enables them
to produce watches at price renders competition
| futile, and those who buy any other watch merely
pay from 20 to so per cont more for their watches
| than is necessary.
| These time pieces combine every improvement
that long experience has proved of real practical
use. Having had the refusal of nearly every in
vention in watch making originating in this coun-
try 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 tho pub
lie, demonstrated to be essential to correct and
| enduring time keeping.
Among the many improvements we would par
ticularize:
The invention and use of centre-pinion of pc
cuiar construction, to prevent damage to the
train by the breakage of main springs, Is original
with the American Watch Company, who, having
had the refusal Of all other contrivances adopted
fogg's patent pinion as being the best and fault
less.
Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now uni.
versally admitted by Watchmakers TO be the best
are used in all grades of Waltham Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust-proof cans.
protecting tho movement from dust, and lesenine
the necessity of the frequent cleaning necessary
in other watches.
Our new patent stem winder, or keyless watch
is already decided success, and great improve
ment on any stem-winding watch in the American
market, and by far the cheapest watch of its ouali
ty now offered to the public. To those living in
portions of the United States, where watcnmakers
do not abound, watches with the above mentioned
improvements which tend TO ensure accuracy,
cleanliness, durability and convenience, must
prove invaluable.
