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-keepers.
More than SOC, 900 of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets of the peo-
~pIe-proof and a 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 25 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-
teal use. Having had the refusal of nearly eve
ry invention in wateh-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 housekeeping.
Among the many improvements we would par
ticularize:
The invention and use OF q centre pinion of re-
culiar construction, to prevent damage to the
train by b~reakage of main springs, is original
with the American Watch Company, who, hav-
ing had the refusal of all other contriyances, adop-
ted fogg's patent pinion as being the best ana
faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now uni
versally admitted by WstchImakers 10 be the best
are used in all grades of Waltham Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust-proofc caps,
protecting the movement from dust. and lessen
ing the necessity of the frequent cleaning necessa-
~ in other watches.
Our new patent m-winder, or key-less watch
is already Il decided success, and Il 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 hv-
ing In portions of the United States where watch
makers do not abound, watches with the above
mentioned improvements which tend 10 ensure
accuracy, cleanliness, durability and convenience
must prove invaluable.
