ABSTRACT
In the manufacture of watches and chronometers of the highest class British makers are unsurpassed, but our manufacturers were for long content to resign the great market for popular watches to Continental and American makers. In recent years, however, the British manufacture of watches for the multitude has considerably extended, with the result that the imports have fallen greatly. British Commerce in Watches
