Watchmaker’s Work.
The work that falls to the lot
of the watchmaker to perform is
of the most delicate character,-
and Remands a high degree of
skill to execute in a satisfactory
manner. It requires more than
mere mechanical knowledge,
for some intimacy with the sci
ence of horology is needed to
make the successful watchma
ker. This term, watchmaker,
has come to bo something of a
misnomer in this country, since
the majority of watches are
made by machinery, and the
work of most of tho skilled
watchmakers is confiincd main
ly to repairing watches. In near
ly every jewelry establishment
in the country the repairing of
watches is made a special fea
ture of the business, and work
men, more or less expert, find
mdlgn4»tfiauday men t at j.
work of this kind. Unfortunate
ly, all those claiming to be
watchmakers are not proficient
at the business, but contrive to
botch most of the wort entrust
ed to them. The demand for
good, skillful watchmakers ex
ceeds the supply, and the defi
ciency is made up with halffledg-
ed journeyman who have picked
up what they know about watch
making while serving as shop
boy somewhere, or who have, ill
some other way, obtained a su
perficial knowledge of the inside
of a watch. Tho number of fine
watches that have been ruined
by botches calling themselves
watchmakers cannot be estima
