A good watch can be purchased nowadays
for a very trifiing sum. So-called cheap
watches are those that sell at retail at from
S12 to $40. The highest priced watch is sup
posed to be the one at the Paris Exhibition,
valued at $4,000. It is said that American
watches are machine made; but in SWitzer-
land there Is good deal of hand finis hing
added-the wheels, the pivots, the rivets, and
so on, are brought to high degree of finish.
An Elgin watch and q Swiss watch can be had
for the same money, but the latter is the best
article, simply because 1t is better finished,
and works, in consequence, with less friction.
good Swiss watch, such as any gentleman
might feel proud to carry, can be pur-
chased for $780, In order to sell O. first class
article for that sum, dealers are obliged to
import only the movements OF the watches,
buying cases for them here free from duty.
In Switzerland the watchmakers work six
teen hours a day and get about sixty cents
day. Here they work eight hours day,
andt get, Of course, higher wages. And in
Switzerland the men don't work In factories,
but at their own homes. Each man has his
own special part Of watch to make, and keeps
it for q life time. Every watch passes through
the hands Of fifty Or sixty men before IL
is finished When one man Is done with it he
brings it to the office of the manufacturer,
where another man takes it and returns it for
q third man to try hand on, and so on till
the thing is done. However, popular as the
Swiss watch is, the American watch Is already
q strong rival to it. In the first place, patriot
ism has good deal to do with it. There are
many people who prefer an American watch
because it is American, and for that reason
only. In the next place, there is duty of
% per centum. If Congress should increase
it to so per centum, the act would be felt by
the importers of Swiss watches.
