HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

1t will be apparent to any one, who will
examine SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, a large proportion of the
precious metal used is needed only to stiffen
and hold the engraved portions in place and
supply the necessary solidity and strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless so far
as utility and beauty are concerned. In
JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH
CASES, this waste of precious metal is over
come, and the SAME sOLIDITY AND STRENGTH
produced at from one third to one-half of the
usual cost of solid cases. This process is of
the most simple nature, as follows: a plate
of nickle composition metal, especially
adapted to the purpose, has two plates OF
SOLID GOLD soldered one on each side The
three are then passed between polished steel
rollers, and the result is strip of heavy
plated composition, from which the cases,
backs, centres, bezels, &C., are cut and
shaped by suitable dies and formers. The
gold in these cases is sufficiently thick to adj
nit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and
enameliDg; the engraved cases have been
carried until worn perfectly smooth by time
and use without removing the gold
