“Accuracy under adverse conditions” is something Ball has lived by since 1891. Ball watches are known as the railroad standard due to their long and rich history timing the rails. In 1891 there was an incident in which multiple people died due to a railroad crash. The engineer’s watch has apparently stopped for about 4 minutes, causing him to think he had more time than he did before an intersection with another train. Tragically, the two trains collided due to improper timing. After the railroad accident at Kipton, Webb C. Ball designed a system that kept engineer’s and conductor’s watches running on time. Now, it is widely known that when you ask a railroad person the time, you can be sure that it is correct!
Ball watches blossomed after a tragedy, but they are now known as one of the most accurate timepieces across the board. Ball watches are Swiss made and have incredibly high standards. Although they are not quite a household name, they are just as accurate and precise as any Omega or Rolex. Not to mention that they have an even better price to value ratio! Watch gurus, men and women alike, seem to have fallen in love with Ball watches. Not only are they accurate, they also have other features that make them stand out in the industry. Ball uses tritium gas contained in tiny mineral glass tubes. They function in a similar way to the way a television screen works. This innovative technology is 100 times brighter than markings that use luminous paint! Tritium tubes do not need light to recharge their brightness either. When night comes, simply glance down at your Ball watch and you’ll easily be able to tell the time, with railroad standard accuracy.
Here at Karats jewelers we have a Ball watch for everyone and for every activity you may have in mind. If you ever need to get your Ball watch serviced or repaired, we work closely with Ball to get that done quickly. Some of their most popular watches right now include the Engineer Hydrocarbon dive watches and the Engineer III Marvelight, both of which we have in stock! Some of their watches now even incorporate rainbow illumination tubes that show up in a range of colors when exposed to darkness.
