VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for "Smith's Chronographs" featuring four different models of pocket chronographs, which are precision timepieces with stopwatch functionality. The top two watches have Nickel or Oxidized Steel Cases, with the left one being a 30-minute recording stopwatch and the right one a 15-minute version. Both include subsidiary dials and are labeled as Type No. 658 and Type No. 659 respectively, each priced at £2 : 10 : 0. Below them are two more intricate designs; on the left is a watch fitted with Nickel Case, type no. 30 intended for timing telephone conversations or other events up to three hours in duration, priced at £4 : 14 : 0. On the right is another model housed in a Nickel Case, type no. 10 designed specifically for aircraft performance testing purposes; this one costs £5 : 5 :0. The bottom part of the image includes the logo of Smith's Aircraft Instruments by S. Smith & Sons (Motor Accessories) Ltd. , indicating that these chronographs were likely marketed towards aviation professionals and enthusiasts alike during an era where precise mechanical instruments were essential for navigation and communication. Additionally, there's information about where to find Smith’s Aircraft Instruments: their address at "179-185 GREAT PORTLAND STREET, " along with branches available nationwide in England. Overall, this image captures both historical technology from an age before digital instrumentation became prevalent as well as provides insight into early-to-mid-20th-century advertising styles.
