We invite the especial attention of Railroad Engineers, Con‐ ‘ ductors, Travelers and others, to a new FullPlate Watch, made at '
W'altham, which is of a higher grade than a n y which have yet“ been produced at the factory.
A Full Plate “Watch wrll stand more hard usage than any other, and this one has been made to meet the special requirements of
those who areengaged in activeOperations. It has a quicker beat .
than the other full plate Watches, and on this account is less liable to be affected by the jar of railroad travel ; it is provided with a
new style cf regulator,by which the slightest variation,..can be. [
easily corrected, and in order to reduce the thickness it is arragfi, « so that the handsset on the back. _
This grade is made both as Key-Winderand Stem-W'inder.
_It is by far the finest full plate movement ever made in this country, and is adjusted to heat and cold. It is named the
“ American Watch C0.,” Crescent Street, Waltham, Mass, It is so ‐ ' called to distinguish it from the highest grade of the % plate,
which bears the same nameTCrescent Street,in Waltham,being the Street on which the factory is situated.
The diameter is the same as the other full plate Watches, but as
it is a trifle thinner, it will not fit the usual full plate cases. ”We , havethemonhandin2,3,4,5and6oz.Silvercases,andin42dwt. I
