w AT e. III r s.

The extensive use of these watches for The
last fifteen years BY Railway Conductors. En-
sineers and Expressmen, the most exactinp I
of watch wearers, has thoroughly demonstra-
ted the strength. steadinesS. durability and /
accuracy of the Waltham Watch. To satisf,
that class in all these respects, is to decide /
the question as to the real value of these time
keepers.
More than 500, 600 Of these watches are |
now speaking for themselves in the pockets |,
Of the people-a proof Ind a guarantee OF their |
superiority over all others.
The superior organization and great extent |
of the Company's Works at Waltha m, enables |
them to produce watches at a price which |
renders competition futile, and those who |
bny any other watch merely pay from rs to
so per cent. more for their watches than is
necessary.
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 orig
mating in this country OF in Europe, only
those were finally adopted which sew ere test
ing by the most skillfnll artisans in our
works, and long use on the part of the public,
demon strated to be essential TO correct and
enduring time keeping.
Among the many Improvements we would
particularize:
The invention and use of a centre pinion
of peculiar construction, to prevent damsge
to the train by the breakage of main springs,
is original with the American Watch Compa-
| ny, who, having had the refusal of all other
contrivances, adopted Fogg's patent pnion as
| being the best and fsultless.
| Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now
universally admitted by Watchmakers to be
the best, are used in all grades of Waltham
Watches.
All Waltliam Watches have dust-proof caps
! frnr duct nd los
SEEMING the necessity of the frequent cleaning
necessary in all watches.
Our new patent stem winder, or keyless
watch is already decided success, and
great improvement on any stem-w winding
watch in the American market, and BY far
the cheapest watch of its quality now offered
TO the public. To those living in portions of
the United States where watchn akers do nut
abound, watches with the above mentioned
improvements which tend to ensure accuracy,
cleanliness, durability and convenience, must
| Prove invaluable.
