We are informed that this is the first time such a guarantee has been given by any watchmaker in Now Zealand. Jones and Sons declare that their reason for giving it is their strong faith in the watch- It is undoubtedly the strongest watch we have ever seen. This is the guarantee Jones and Sons give : “ We guarantee every Greenwich Lever Watch we sell to be a perfect timekeeper, and we will keep the same in good order against accidents, breakages, or stoppages free of charge for the first year after purchase. These watches last fifteen years.” No wonder Jones and Sons hare been selling dozens of these fine witches since they made their first announcement.
