There is a stop work to prevent damage from overwinding at the stem, and all the parts are made interchangeable. The case of this long-wind watch is stamped out in only two pieces, and nickeled. To set the hands, it is necessary to remove the bezel entirely, and use a point, or the finger, in this operation, as well as in adjusting the regulator, which is approached from the front. Fig. 9 is a view of this watch with the bezel off, and Fig. 10 represents the regulator and part of the movement. The Waterbury Watch Co. is also making cheap short-wind watches, with cases of nickel, coin silver, oxidized silver, and gold filled, and of several sizes and various designs. Fig. 11 shows the working parts of this short-wind watch, the balance wheel,.
