THE GOLDEN WATEBBTJBY. - i ■ . By last mail steamer the first parcel of Gold Waterbury s ever shipped to Australasia were received, and are now on view at all our agencies. These are the handsomest watches obtainable anywhere. They combine the famous time-keeping qualifications of the older series, with the shortness of mainspring of an English Lever. Any person desiring “the correct time” in a gold case is advised to call and invest £2 10s in the new Golden Waterbury. The Golden Waterbury ... .£2 10s The Golden Waterbury ... £2 10s The Golden Waterbury ... £2 10a The Golden Waterbury ... £2 10s The Aluminum' Bronze Waterbury is the same watch as the above, but instead of the well-known Waterbury movement being encased in Gold, it is finished in a combination of metals closely resembling the precious metal, but less costly, although equally durable. The Aluminum Bronze Waterbury £2 The Aluminum Bronze Waterbury £2 The Aluminum Bronze Waterbury £2 The Aluminum Bronze Waterbury £2 The Ladies’ Waterbury is too well known to need any description. This unique and trustworthy watch is carried and prized by many of the leading ladies of the age. It is unpretentious in appearance, but neat and thoroughly reliable. Any parent wishing to inculcate habits of punctuality in his daughters should give them a Ladies’ Waterbury, short wind, with enamelled dial. The Ladies’ Waterbury £1 2s 6d The Ladies’ Waterbury £1 2s 6d The Ladies’ Waterbury £1 2s 6d The Ladies’ Waterbury ill 2s 6d The Gentlemen’s Short Wind Waterbury “ J,” with enamelled dial, seconds hand, and jewelled movement, is a strong, serviceable watch, infinitely superior to many of the gaudy “ chronic-graphs ” made in Continental back-slums, and fathered in England, which,with a guarantee to “go” as long as they are “ carried,” are considered fair value for from four to ten guineas. As 75,000 Gentlemen’s Waterburys have been sold by the writer in New Zealand alone during the past four years, and more than half a million more during the same period in Australia, the vendors of trashy imitations can safely be left to console themselves with a “ soda and bitterness ” at their own expense. It’s surprising what a lot of rubbishy imitations are offered for sale. One “gentleman” in Canterbury, who has been an industrious collector of Waterbury watch boxes, imports a special “Waterbury ” of his own, which never has been known to “ go,” and certainly never will be. The poorest apology ever submitted for a watch was offered the writer by a Christchurch jeweller, securely ensconced in a Waterbury watch box, as a genuine waterbury, so that the public desiring the correct time must see that the monogram of the Company. W.W.0., is on the face of every watch, being onlyfrom our recognised agents. The Gentlemen’s Waterbury “ J 2s 6d. The Gentlemen’s Waterbury “J” .£1 2s 6d. The Gentlemen’s Waterbury “J” £1 2s 6d.
