The controversies they have aroused, duly confirm that old and modern folks are øver at open fend: How difficult for anyone to be a prophet in his own country! They also stress the laudable vitality prevailing in the technique of watchmaking which seems to disclose an interesting and unexpected evolution towards improving the adjustment of watches serially manufactured.
