New Chronosraphic Watch.

The Partisan matchmaker. Schwob. has
brought out n new chronographic watch
(montre observateurl which is a marked
improvement on the ordinary stop watch.
The face is furnished with second small
dial. similar in size to the seconds dial.
BY touching a knob the hands OF this
dial, which is a complete copy Of the
large one. are at once replaced to l2
O'Clock, and then continue their progress
from that point.
This method is very PRACTICAL, as it not
only shows the time of commencing an
observation. but infallibly determines its
