The Keyless mechanism to a watch is one of the great modern improvements in watch work, it docs away with the old-fashioned key, with which so many persons have mined their watches. The watch is wound by turning a nurlcd knob, placed on the handle of bow, instead of _by the ordinary means ; the hands are set in the same way. The advantages of those improvements arc 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.
