Ball Watch, founded by Webster Clay Ball, who established a high-precision railroad watch inspection system that promoted safe operation at the dawn of American railroads, has developed mechanical watches that inherit his technology and philosophy.
The flagship Engineer Hydrocarbon series pursues high levels of visibility, operability, robustness, water resistance, and shock resistance 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 specs of this watch.
