AMERICAN WATCHES, 
The true value of Machinery applied to M’.ateh-maUlng Is 
not that by Its use tVatehes are made raphlly, Imt that they 
are made eorreetly. Very few people know why a Waltham 
Watch should ho superior to any other. In the first place, 
the Watch Is regarded at Waltham as only a machine to bo 
construeted like any other machine on mechanical princi¬ 
ples. The Factory Is Indeed little else but avast machine 
shop, the principle work In which Is not upon watches, but 
upon machinery to make them with. If the watches are 
good. It l.s hecanse the machinery Is good. Of course there 
must be no fault In the principle or plan of tlio movement, 
none In the sizes or shapes of the pieces of which It Is com¬ 
posed, nothing wanting In their properties, and no error In 
their po.sitlons. These points once thoroughly settled and 
fixed In the case of every part of each variety of watch. It 
rests wliolly with the machinery eoustructed with Infinite 
variety of form and function expressly for the purpose to 
produce the finished pieces. Tho method established lit 
every department Is in short that of the reduplication of parts 
by mechanical means, and carried out on tho system of the 
finest sub-dlvision of labor. _Dy meansof multiplying gauges 
and microscopes, tests and Inspection for the detection of 
wear In cutting tools and for faults and flaws In steel or stone, 
are made to accompany the work In every stage from be¬ 
ginning to end. It follows that the Watch goes together a 
perfect machine Itself. Every part Is found to fit properly 
In It,-* phicc. F.vcry pin may be pushed till It pinches, and 
every screw turned home. Instead of a sluggish and feeble 
action, the balance, even under the pressure of the lightest 
mainspring, vibrates with a wide and free motion, and the 
bent has the clear and ringing sound always characteristic 
of the Waltham Watch. Tho machine Is a timekeeper from 
the start. 
This system Is unknown In foreign countries and is entire¬ 
ly original with tho M’altham Company. The Company 
claim that under It they produce watches which cannot bo 
equaled for every quality which makes a watch valuable. 
Simple In plan and correct In principle, the movement Is 
not only beautifully finished, substantial, accurate and 
cheap, but Is uniform to the smallest details, not easily dam¬ 
aged, easily repaired and always as good as new. There are 
diflerent grades of finish on the different kinds, .as there are 
dltferent sizes and shapes to suit all tastes and wants, but 
every Watch that hears the genuine trade mark of “ Wal¬ 
tham.” Is guaranteed to be a good one, aud nobody need 
be afraid to buy It. 
From THc N. Y. Trilmiio. 
“The American Watch Companv. of Waltham. Mass., es¬ 
tablished In 1850, has grown lino proportions which entitle 
it to a rank among the manufacturing enterprises of Ameri¬ 
ca. The quality of these Instruments has been thoroughly 
tested by minute comparisons, and the result is decidedly 
in favor of the home-made over the Imported. 
“The first dutv of a wateh Is to keep good time. Its other 
nscs are decorative and subsidiary. '1 he simpler Its mechan¬ 
ism the more trustworthy its action, and the system upon 
which watches are constructed by tho American Company 
Is the verv perfeetloii ol simplicity. 
“An Important question Is that of the relative costliness of 
European ami American Watches. It appears that the ad- 
vantnc** of <*h(Mi|)nc83 is also with us. The dlffcTcncc in price 
is not excessive, hut Issnftlelent to be an object to anv pur¬ 
chaser. The virtue of superior durahllity. however. Is one 
which ought to be well considered In this regard. Ameri¬ 
can Instruments will outlast all others. It has been esti¬ 
mated that we pay Europe fri.000,000 a year lor w.atches. and 
a like sum for keeping them In order. At onr own doors 
watchi’s are manufactured at a less price, of better quality, 
less Itkelv to become disordered, and so arranged that In 
case of Injury by violence, the Injury may cheaply aud expe¬ 
ditiously be repaired.” 
Fi-oiu The Y. Y. Times. 
“Amkricav W.\LTn.\M WATcnKB.—This country has rea¬ 
son to he proud of thlssplendid specimen ol American oper¬ 
ative genius and enterprise. That It will work a revolution 
In the watch manufacturing of tho world no one can doubt 
who examines the operations of tho Waltham Lstahlishment, 
for It turns out watch movements at Just about onte-halt the 
coBt of Imported moveni<*nt8—bct^ldc ii>c millorm reliiibliitv 
of llm macidiio inudo wiitchcs must cive tiicni a preat ad- 
vantage over all olhers wlierever known. A poor time¬ 
piece of the machine make will he as rare In ttie luture as a 
good one of liand-make has been heretofore, for machinery 
Is arbitrary In Its performance, and ean make a perfect arti¬ 
cle Just as easy as one that Is worthless. It will he a cause 
of congratulation If this highly useful American enterprise 
shall have the clfeet of driving out of market the thousands 
of trashy fori-lgn articles, miscalled llmekc-epers, by furulsh- 
ing so excellent and economical a substitute. 
From TUc N. Y. Herald. 
“ We notice with regret, (writing of the Paris Exposition), 
the ahsenoe of specimens of American manulacture. which, 
although only comparatively ol n-cent birth among '8 
already producing results of tho most satlslactory character

certainly so far ns strength, durahllity, and excellence as 
time-keepers are coneerned. as good as anythlug produced 
by the French or Swiss manufactures.

From TUc SciciiHflc .VmerIcnn. 
“ It Is believed that a Waltham Watch Is worth (IohWo the 
price of many of the Imported watches made by huiid. 
From Hnrjjcr’s AVfoUly. 
“The beauty, tho precision, tho greater cheapness, the 
unifonn excelljnce of a watch eonsti iKded by machinery s^o 
exniilsltc that the mere spee.tacle of Us operation Is poetic, 
gradually give the American Watches a public prclereiico 
which will not he deceived.”
