HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

1t will DO apparent to any one, who will
examine a SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, a large proportion of the
precious meta fused is needed only to stiffen
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
SAME soLlDITY AND STRENGTH produced ct
from one-tbird to one-half of The usual cost
of solid cases. This process is of the most
simple nature. as follows : plate of ncke
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 a strip of heavy plated compost
ton from which the cases, hacks, centres,
bezels. &c. are bent and shaped by suitable
dies end formers. The gold in these cases is
sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds of
chasing, engraving and enamelling the en-
graved cases have been carried until worn
perfectly smooth by time and use without re-
moving the gold
THIS is THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL CERT
FICATE.
