THE MOST RELIABLE WATCHES

ARE THOSE OF THE

WEST END WATCH COMPANY.

(Steam Factory for the Manufacture of Watches.)


Rs. 18.

1. The Model of Campaign Watches
Solid and pure Nickel Silver Case
Sold in India lately for Rs. 35.

Rs. 28.

2. A heavy sterling Silver-cased
Watch and perfect Time-keeper.
Sold lately for Rs. 55.


These Watches and all others of our manufacture, made by machines of the most perfect operation that ingenuity and mechanical skill has ever produced, should not be classed with the great number of Watches which frequently require more repairing than they are worth, and never keep good time. The immense superiority in Value, Accuracy, and Durability of the West End Watch Company's Watches to all other makers, from the great defects of which these Watches are exempt, is proved by the number manufactured every year—over 100,000 Watches of every description and size.

These Watches are of Special Strength, and have—

Dust and Damp-proof Cases.
Patent, Improved, Strong and Durable Winding Mechanism, almost without wear.
Inside Hand-setting Lever for Campaign Watches.
Massive Sterling Silver Dome for ail Silver Watches.
Rubies, Jewels in every part exposed to wear.
Patent Lever Escapement.
All tempered Hair-springs of great elasticity.
An exceedingly nice and neat appearance
Crystal Glass front (not concave-convex).

Which combines the strength of Hunter with the convenience of the Open-face Watch.
Never requires opening, and therefore will keep clean for a larger number of years than Key-Winding Watches.

Specially note that every Watch has the Manufacturing Company's name on dial and inner plate, as guarantee of their origin and good quality, and that they are sold as cheaply as can possibly be afforded in order to sell large numbers and to run the largest Factory in Europe.
According to quality, intrinsic value, and workmanship, all our Watches are fully one-third to one-half cheaper than any others sold in England or in this country. We are confident that they will more than meet all expectations and give complete satisfaction.
