Public Announcements. I IMPORTANT FOll WATCHMAKERS! IMPORTANT FOR EVERYBODY2 o THE Kodanow Manufacturing Company, (Limited, capital 2,000,000dol) Boston, America, will forward, hereafter, even one single watch to any part of the -world at wholesale price, viz., 35 per cent, cheaper than any watchmaker, as none of them is manufacturing watches himself, but 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, crystal glass, seconds hand ..... 10s Silver Watch, hunting case, engraved, highly finished . . 14s Silver Watch, skeleton movement, extra jeweled, stout double cover £ 1 Gold Watch, jeweled, maintaining power, crystal glass . . . £llos Gold Watch, half hunter, enamel or gold dial, lever escapement. . £1 16s Gold Watch, hunting case, superior nickel movement, best quality, with all the latest improvements, 2 gold covers . . . . £2 3s KEYLESS WATCHES. (Stemwinders) The keyless mechanism to a watch is one of the great modern improvements in watch work ; it does away with the ohl-fashioncd key, with which so many persons have ruined their watches. The watch is wound by turning a nurlcd knob, placed on the handle or bow, instead of by the ordinary means ; the hands are set in the same way. The advantages of these improvements are obvious, 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.
