Ball Watch Company Engineer III Endurance 1917 TMT | Ice Blue Dial | Black Rubber Strap

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. It was his system that brought accuracy and uniformity of timekeeping to the railroads, resulting in railroad watches being recognised as STANDARD. This explains why the name is so well respected today.

The Engineer III takes the experience of the Ball brand and reinvents one of its classic collections in the most tasteful manner. What results is a functional beauty with technological advancements all executed in fine Swiss watchmaking traditions. Tried and tested reliability and a name synonymous with quality keeping you on track each and every day.
