The watcfe is a splendid time- j keeper, and would cost in Auckland at least Teu Guineas. My son could havo sold tho watch a ' score of tim«s, for double the price that it cost him, but would not part with it on any account. I may also say that I know several here who have sent for your watches, and they have given the greatest satisfaction. You aro at perfect liberty to publish this if you wish, as lam well known here.
