WALTHAM
w A T c. III T. S F..

The extensive use of these watches for the last
fifteen years by Railway Conductors, Engineers
and Expressmen, the most exacting of watch
wearers, has thoroughly demonstrated the
strength, steadiness, durability and accuracy OF
the waltham Watch. To satisfy that class in all
these respects, is to decide the question as to the
real value of these time
More than soc, 900 of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets of the peo-
~ple-proof and n guarantee Of their superiority
over all others.
Tho superior organization and great extent of
the Company's Works at Waltham, enables them
to produce watches at a price which renders
competition futile, and those who buy any other
watch merely pay from IS to so per cent. more for
their watches than is necessary
These time pieces combine every Improvement
that a long experience has proved of real prac-
tical use. Having had the refusal of nearly eve
~ invention in watch making originating in this
country or in Europe. ouly those were finally
adopted which severe testing by the most skilful
artizans in our works, and long use on the part
of the public, demonstrated to be essential TO
correct and enduring time-keeping.
Among the many improvements we would par
ticularize:
The invention and use of a centre pinion Of pc
culiar construction, TO prevent damage TO the
train by breakage of main springs, is oriyinal
with the American Watch Company, who, hav-
lHg nSl lit u " u III tAlt 1NhNA NhhttN NfoapP
ted kogg's patent pinion rs being the best and
faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair-sprinGs, now uni
versally admitted by Watchmakers to he the best
are used in all grades of Waltham Watches.
All Waltham Watches have Gust-proofc caps,
protecting the movement from dust, and lessen
ing the necessity of the frequent cleaning necessa-
nv in other watches.
Our new patent stem winder, or key-less watch
is already a decided success, and a great improve
ment on any ~stem-winding watch in the Ameri-
can market, and by far the cheapest watch of its
quality now offered to the public. To those hy-
ing in portions of the United States where watch
makers do not abound, watches with the above
mentioned improvements which tend TO ensure
accuracy, cleanliness, durability and convenience
must prove invaluable.
