■JPHE WATOH OP THE AQ* WONDEBFUITwATIBBUBY. The aecret of the " Watebbtjry's " strength and accuracy lies in its simplicity, and its internal mechanism marks a new and radical departure in the art of watchmaking. The long thin mainspring, so frequently ridiculed, ii the real lonrce of its superiority acid enables its designer to do away with the intricate duplication of parts by the direcapplication of power. So well has this prin. cipie been appreciated that tne Factory established nearly ten yean ago with an output of 1000 WATCHBB PEB DAY haa been taxed to its utmost to meet the requirements of the trade ; and though arrangements were completed for the supply of the Province of Auckland more than a year ago, no watches could be spared for this market until within the last two or three weeks. During the year 1886 100,000 •• W ATBBBURYS " were sold in London ; and the well known firm of W. H. Smith and Sons, Railway bookstall men, offer them at all the railway stations and on all the trains in the United Kingdom. We believe Mr Smith himself, who is First lord of the Admiralty, regularly carries one for his own personal use, In Sydney, during the same period, 45,000 " WATEBBUBYB " changed hands , and the question naturally arises, what becomes of them 7 who carries them ? and the answer is, the people, Every Bank, and every Factory, every Countinghouse, and every Store, boasts its " Watebbuey." Amongst our merchants, our lawyers or doctors; our artisans or labourers, it is no stranger ; and whether exposed to the vicissitudes of the miner, the rough usage of the bushman, or the eccentricities of commercial or professional life, its record is the same— trustworthy, Btrong and durable, PBlOl— l3s 6d each.
