Ball Watches

Following a major train accident in Kipton, Ohio in 1893, Webb Ball was chosen to investigate time conditions on the railroads and to implement an inspection system for the keeping of time among railroad workers.  He established a system that kept variations in time to under 30 seconds.  From these beginnings, Ball watches grew to be one of the most respected watch brands in America.  Still manufactured with the same attention to detail of the shape of the hour and minute hands to the style of the numerals, the Ball watches are a reliable timepiece.

The collection of Ball watches still maintains their origins to the railroads of America with names such as Engineer, Conductor and Fireman.  Features of Ball watches include Self-powered micro gas lights, shock resistance, anti magnetic properties, water resistance and low temperature oil movement for essential for mechanical operation.  Ball watches range in price from US$1,000 to US$2,500.
