Ball Watch, founded by Webster Clay Ball, who established a high-precision railroad watch inspection system that promoted safe operation at the dawn of the American railroads, has developed mechanical watches that inherit his technology and philosophy.
The flagship "Engineer Hydrocarbon" series pursues visibility, operability, robustness, water resistance, and shock resistance at a high level in order to function only in severe environments. The patented "Safety Lock Crown System" that guards the crown, a unique anti-seismic system, and a self-luminous "Micro Gas Light" are all part of the high-specification appeal of this watch.
