KEASONS why you should luy an American "Waltham IJ 



Watch, in preference to any other : 



ALL AMERICAN WALTHAM WATCHES HAVE 



FOGG'S PATENT PINION, 



To prevent damage to the train by the accidental breaking 

 of the mainspring. 



ALL AMERICAN WALTHAM WATCHES have hardened and tempered hair- 

 springs, which secure a more uniform rate, and facilitate the regulating. 



ALL AMERICAN WALTHAM WATCHES have hardened and tempered pinions, 

 which prevent wear. 



ALL AMEEICAN WALTHAM WATCHES have a much longer and weaker 

 mainspring than either Swiss or English watches, which reduces the 

 wear and tear on all parts, and proves that the watch is properly con- 

 structed. In some instances the spring is 22 inches long. 



ALL AMERICAN WALTHAM WATCHES are made on the interchangeable 

 principle, so that if one piece should break it can be replaced by a new 

 one, to be obtained at the Wholesale and Export Offices of the 



AMERICAN WATCH COMPANY, 



Waltliam Buildings, Holborn Circus, London, E.G., 



saving time and cost. 



ALL AMERICAN WALTHAM WATCHES can be changed from a silver case to 

 a gold one without loss of time or danger of having the movement 

 spoiled by being taken down to make a new case for it. 

 ALL AMERICAN WALTHAM WATCHES, even the keyless ones, are very simple 



in construction, and can be repaired by any watch-maker. 

 ALL AMERICAN WALTHAM WATCHES are warranted by special certificate 

 to be made on the most approved principles, of the best materials, and 

 to possess every requisite of a reliable Time Keeper. 



ALL AMERICAN WALTHAM WATCHES are made on a principle spoken of by 

 Sir EDMUND BECKET (late E. B. Denison) in his works on Clocks, 

 Watches, and Bells, in which he says, " although labour is dearer in 

 America than here, this machinery enables them to undersell English 

 watches of the same quality ;" and that the system of the American 

 Watch Company of Waltham, of making watches wholly by machinery, 

 is perfectly correct, this same eminent authority remarks that <( there 

 can be no doubt in the mind of any one who understands machinery 

 that this is the best as well as the cheapest way of making machines 

 which require precision and uniformity" 



The public are cautioned that there are quantities of worthless imitations 

 of Waltham Watches being offered for sale, usually called Boston Levers, 

 American Levers, and other similar names. Every Waltham Watch ought 

 to have special certificate, signed by the Treasurer of the Company, and 

 countersigned by the Company's Agents at London, and for the g*od per- 

 formance of which, under fair usage, the Company at all times hold them- 

 selves responsible t no matter where purchased.
