COMP AN V (Limited— Capital, 2,d00,000dol.), Boston, America, will forward, hereafter, even one single watch to any part of tlie world at wholesale price, i.e., 35 per cent, cheaper than any watchmaker, as none of them is manufacturing watches himself, hut only buying them from here. We call the particular attention of everyone intending to purchase a first-class reliable watch to our following price-list:— KEY-WINDING WATCHES. Silver Watch £ s. d.

The keyless mechanism to a watch is one of the great modern improvements in watch work. Il dues away with the oldfashioned key, with which so many persons have ruined their watches. The watch is wound by turning a nurled knob, placed on the handle or bow, instead of by the ordinary means ; the hands aro set in the same way. The advantages of these improvements are ibvious ; the case, which never need be opened in winding, is made air-tight and dust-tight, thus preserving much longer the fluidity -of the oil, and greatly prolonging the intervals between the necessary cleaning of the watch.
