The lifetime of a good watch Is
fifty years. In it's daily duties the
balance vibrates $4,000 times every

$4,000 times year. The hairspring
makes a similar number of vibra-
tons and an equal number of ticks

good watch multiply ISL, $50, 900 by
so, which gives 1854, 100000 pull
sations for fifty years. The chances
are that the watch may even then be
