HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

1t will be apparent to any one, who will
examine SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engrav-
ing and polishing, large proportion OF
the precious metal used, is needed only
to stitfen and hold the engraved portions
in place, and supply the necessary solldi'y
and strength. The surplus gold IS actu-
ally needless so far as UTILITY and beauty
arc concerned. In JAMES BOSS PA
TENT GOLD WATCH CASES. this
WASTE of precious metal is overcome,
and the SAME SOLIDITY AND STRENGTH
produced at from One-third 10 One.haif
Of the usual cost of solid cases. This
process is Of the most simple nature, as
follows: q plate of nickle composition,
metal, especially adapted to the purpose,
has two plates of SOLID GOLD soldered
one Gu each side. The three are then pass
ed between polished steel rollers, anu the
result is strip Of heavy plated compo-
sition, from which the cases, backs and
centres, bezeis, &C., are cut and shaped
by suitable dies and formers. The gold
In these cases is sufficiently thick to i'd
nit Of a]l kinds OF chasing, engraving
and enamelling; the engraved cases have
been carried until worn perfectly smooth
by time aud use without removing the
gold.
THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL
CERTIFICATE.
