~~" : Wat, STEWART DAWSOJNT & CO.'S UNRIVALLED WATCHES, THE BEST AND MOST PERFECT IN THE WOBU> SELLING IN HUNDREDS. The Result of SCIENCE, SKILL INVENTION, and the APPLICATION of CAPITAL cnlmfcui. ' - ing bttSJrtito;ot Si the different of ""n**"* to one huge Ita^SSSS ■ r with the adoption of the most improved and efficient machinery-- Upon this aywam onr factory & " ' organised. anS the benefits th.t remit therefrom may.be tons summarised :-(l> The various pro- -■ cSes of the trade, instead of being carried on in thirty to forty different places, are all brodght ■ Snder one management. (2) Scientific machinery..withits wonderful ex.ctitude, U employed with 1 , tecUculalU advance for cer.ain portions of the Watch, which are taproved and £?. fectod by thit method of production. C 3) At the tame time, _ and. in conjncction therewith, the services of the mest highly-skilled workmen are amployed, thus blending the intelligence and jafe. nSntof the cultivatedartificer with the products of the animated machines. By ■ . • - combination we may say that we have realised p.rf action in Watch manufacture, and are fully j Ma . " fie™ in the assertion we make, that in the system a> thus developed by us, there fa a unity of ide" , "oherence; and a fitness that is not to be found in any other, and that under it there Is a proportion - attainable AND ATTAINED that cannot poaibly be reached otherwlw; & as the introduction of steam power revolutionised the indtutrie. of the World, so our unique syneo marks a new departure in the art and science of Watchmaking. "..."■. Wβ will now direct our attention to .the completed Wateb, and indicate as briefly,a poafcla ' '•■ some of the particulars in which the quality of our Lever Watches may give the chalkuge to tha 6r solnaWatcb, duralSlity and stability depend lirgelr oh the foundation. THE FOUNDATION OF OOR LEVER WATCH IS SOLIDITY ITSELF Our reader, wouia he astonished if they saw the disc of solid metal which is intended to form the PItLAB-PLATE of future Watch. This is turned, parallel and true; it is recessed to receive the wheelwork under the dial; it is fitted with pillars, upon which the top plate is placed; and when the pair of pht« technically FfiAMES, made on our system, are pnt together, they form a foundation within which the wheels can be run with a steadineis hitherto unattainable Our frames are what is knowiT„ HOLLOW BACK, the ieat of the dial beinjr as solid and steady as the metal itself, giving an in, men»e adrantase ovor the ordinary and cheaper make. i. EVEBY WHBKL U accurately gauged, and is of an absolutely exact proportion, both ia sfe a and thickness, for the position and work for which it is intended. • ■™ THE PINIONS.—The same remark, in the attainment of perfect proportion, applies to the a . nnisitely polished steel-toothed Arbor, known as the PINTON, which formu the axis cf each wW * »nd is intermediately the receiver of the power of the maia-spnng-. ~* THE ESCAPEIIEST is .djusUble to a nicety that admits of the perfection of performance bela* attained, and although our Watches beat no fewer than 16.200 times In the hour, yet wear in thta most important part is unknown. Every separate actionbeing jeweUedin hard ruby, the unweuirf ■ pnlse as a conseqnence will beat as free, and the DEAD BEAT action wIU be as perfect in one of o« Wstehes in Fifty years'time as when it is first turned out. ■ " THE BALANCE STAFF.-The same wmark of uniimited durability applies to the BALANCE STAFF. Thi«, workine in its holes of jewel, drilled aad polished to a perfect surface of the • highest tfoss. seems to defy wear. - . ._,.;, ~ .. THE HAIR SPBiNO is k marvel of fine manufacture, bemr (notwithstanding the apparent im« cossibiUty) hardened, aud then tempered to the highest degree of elasticity. ~» , THE DIAL is the best make, known as hard enamel, and has the seconds piece recessed, so that the hand for marking seconds is completely removed from contact with the hour hand. * " The GILDDJO is of a very superior class, and the movement is lefi with a degree of hwdnejj that wonld be unattainable if the gilding were not frosted and finished by steam power. This hudaess meS The ISTEKU WOKK throughout the Watch is hardened and tempered and finished to the highest egl The CASE owesit* formation to the influences of scientific Case-making Machines, finislied, showing a symmetry and style, combined with strength, that mark it a* fim-dass. It uuS possible to enumerate every point of excellence In our Watches. We have not even mentioned the power of going during the operation of winding, which power on our system r*vcr falls; nor need we ennmerati any further. It simply remains to say that the result of this organisation of labonr. this out. lay of capital, with the use of steam power and machinery, issues in the production of a Watch, thit wUI stand the roughest wear and enjoy it, will give its owner less trouble and more comfort, wilita ' more years, and will cost less in repair than any other watch known—a Watch, indeed, th»t is at once the masterpiece of ingenuity and accuracy, the praise of everyone who is intellijent and fortunate enonith to posses, one, and which every reader can for himself prove to ba in truth and in fact tha best VVatch'ever carried by ordering one of them as under:— ORDER EARLY. ©R»ER EARLY.
