Pieces 'are shaped and given their graceful, beautiful con- tours by many different machine and hand operations. Some pieces are stamped out by powerful drop hammers. Others are pressed into shape from flat stock. A third method is that of spinning which involves a craftsman called a spinner. Here a rotating lathe is employ- ed and the piece 'of flat silver is literally wrapped around pattern and the final result is a �faithfuI reproduction' Of the maser c"op"y. ^ •_ Fine silver holloware is decor- ated by every known method for beautifying silver methods thathave been handed 4lown, through the ages, There are so many different procedures such 'as embossing by machine and also with hand tools.

When it comes to buying a watch, the man usually makes the purchase. But whether it is bought '-for husband, wife, son or daughter, only one will.,wear it—with either extreme , satis- faction or sad disappointment in its performance. .The difference in how you feel about your new watch hinges entirely on the quality of the .timepiece you acquire. There are good watches and bad watches. Don't be fooled by so-called watch bargains. You usually, get just about what you pay for. Rely on a .jeweller in whom you have confidence, - To guide you - in buying a watch, whether for yourself or for a gift, The Watchmakers of Switzerland offer several help- ful ,,hints on how to purchase a timepiece that will give lasting pride. ' First, insist on a watch with, a jewelled -lever movement. The tick -tick you hear in youir- watch comes from the power control unit, which is the "heart" of the watch. In a jewelled-levejr movement tiny gems regulate this power, whereas in a cheap watch, . with a ..pin -lever move - ment, steel strikes against steel, causing chronic wear and trouble. Jewelled -lever means quality, while pin -lever means cheaper construction. Workmanship that goes into a pin" -lever movement is reduced to a minimum and the average pin -lever timepiece contains no. working jewels. Another definite advantage in purchasinga quality watch is the replacability of parts. In jewelled -lever watches the parts are expertly screwed together, making the movement easier to repair. The quality jeweller whom you consult • is the best insur- ance that your watch will give you long-time accuracy and satisfaction. As an illustration' of the im- portance of jewels in a watch, in terms of accuracy' and long wear, the tiny • jewelled -lever mechanism ticks five times a second, 300 times a minute, 18,000 times an hour,' 432,000 times a day and . 157,680,000 times a year:— Jewels have. the • hardness necessary to withstand this rugged performance.
