The New American Chronometer (reprinted from the American Jeweler)

We illustrate herewith a new lever chronometer, manufactured by the Waltham Watch Co., which is notable for several reasons. In the first place it is the only chronometer manufactured in America… A chronometer practically never wears out. Even when vessels are sunk, unless they are lost at sea, the divers generally recover the chronometers and after a visit to the shops they are again in service, the only injury being rust of the steel parts by exposure to salt water and subsequent exposure to the air. If they remain wet until they reach the shop there is practically no rust and they only require cleaning and respringing.
