BALL ENGINEER III LEGEND ARABIC 40MM NM9016C-S7C-BER

The foundation for Ball watches is innovation and creativity which are the cornerstone of accuracy under adverse conditions. The railroad is an iconic piece of engineering, critical to the establishment of America as we know it. By the end of 1883, the rail industry had agreed to divide the country into four time zones and had adopted standard time, with the public soon following suit. In the same year, a man named Clay Webb Ball was the first jeweller to use time signals and bring accurate time to Cleveland and he was eventually appointed chief inspector for the rail lines in 1891. These exquisite timepieces continue the tradition of Webster Clay Ball who aspired to manufacture and create the most accurate mechanical watches on Earth. Designed to be used by those that live and work in truly adverse conditions. These timepieces represent inspiration mixed with outstanding engineering technical quality following the path its founder set almost 140 years ago.
