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 st fen
and hold the engraved portions In place, and
supply the necessary solidity and strength
The surplus gold is needless so far as UTILITY
and beauty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS
PATENT GOLD WATCH CASES. this
WASTE of precious metal is overcome, and the
SANE soL1DIrY AND STRENGTH produced ct
from olc;third to One-half of }hc usual cost
of solid cases. This process is Of the most
simple nature. as follows : plate of nickle
composition metal, especially adapted to the
purpose, has two plates of SOLID GOLD solder
ed one on each side The three are then
passed between polished steel rollers, and
the result is strip of heavy plated compost
ton, from which the cases, hacks, centres,
bezes, &c. are bent and shaped by suitable
dies end formers. The gold in these cases s
sumGent!y thick to admit of all kinds Of
chasing, engraving end enamelling the en-
grayed cases have been carried until worn
perfectly smooth by timo and use without re-
moving tha gold
