Ball Watch
Renowned in the horological world, Ball Watch Company is honoured for its groundbreaking contributions to railroad timekeeping as well as its dedication to accuracy, dependability, and innovation. Established in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1891 by Webster C. Ball, the brand has its roots in the railway sector, where precise timekeeping was essential to guaranteeing both safety and punctuality.
The Ball Watch Company was founded in the wake of a tragic incident that highlighted the importance of accurate timekeeping. Strict timekeeping regulations were necessary after a disastrous train accident in Kipton, Ohio, in 1891. The railway companies appointed jeweller and watchmaker Webster C. Ball as Chief Time Inspector to set stringent rules for watch accuracy. His standards set new industry standards and dramatically increased railway safety by requiring watches to be accurate to within 30 seconds per week. Because of the Ball Watch Company's dedication to precision and dependability, more than 125,000 miles of railway tracks in the US use it as their official timekeeper. Strongness, accuracy, and legibility were hallmarks of the company's watches, and these attributes still characterise its products today. The Ball Watch Company is renowned for adding cutting-edge features to improve the usability and robustness of their timepieces. Ball watches have self-contained micro gas tubes that emit a remarkable amount of light without the need for an external light source, this is called Trigalight® Technology. This technology lasts for up to 25 years and guarantees readability even in the darkest environments. Ball watches are perfect for demanding and adventurous environments because they are designed to withstand shocks and impacts. Some models have been tested to withstand up to 5,000Gs.
