THE LEGACY

A WATCHMAKING REVOLUTION RISES AMID DISASTER

In 2016, BALL Watch Company proudly celebrated 125 years of accuracy under adverse conditions. Our journey, including our revolutionary
innovations, arose from devastating train wreckage in Kipton, Ohio, USA, in 1891. Every BALL timepiece runs on the spirit of the American
railroads while incorporating today’s premier technology and finest Swiss craftsmanship – all to ensure accuracy under adverse conditions
around the world.

125 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE – FOUNDED IN ONLY FOUR MINUTES.


The Great Kipton Train Wreck occurred on April 18, 1891, in Kipton, Ohio, when a fast mail train heading east collided head-on with a
passenger train moving west. The conductor of the passenger train failed to stop at the Kipton depot and let the mail train roll by because
his watch had stopped functioning for four minutes before restarting.

The Kipton accident is more than a footnote in American railroad history. It is a defining moment that spurred watchmaking and timekeeping
revolutions. After the collision, renowned jeweler Webster Clay Ball was appointed to investigate the accident’s timekeeping issues. His ex-
ploration helped establish railroad watch performance and inspection standards in 1893, as well as Railroad Time. Gradually, the BALL net-
work extended to 75% – about 125,000 miles – of America’s railways, while railroad watches became the standard for precise timekeeping.

THE GROWING LEGACY OF ACCURACY UNDER ADVERSE CONDITIONS.


At his death, Webb C. Ball had contributed more than any other man in creating the requirements and rate of accuracy of watches for
railroad service. His work in crafting the most precise timepieces and instituting an inspection system was imperative and extraordinary. It
not only improved railroad operations, it was an essential part of timekeeping’s foundation. Today, more than ever, BALL is continuing its
journey and asserting its role as a key protagonist in the evolution of watchmaking history.

THE LUMINOSITY

REVOLUTIONARY MICRO GAS LIGHTS

Every BALL watch is built with the industry’s leading luminescent technology: self-powered micro gas tubes containing tritium
gas (H3). Source of remarkable luminosity, this innovative Swiss technology safely seals pure tritium gas in a hollow mineral glass tube. The
lightweight tubes are efficiently produced by means of a CO2 laser and their interior walls are coated with luminescent material that gives
off cold light when activated by the electrons emitted by the tritium. No matter when and where, a BALL watch provides quick, easy and
safe time reading.

THE TECHNOLOGY

PATENTED INNOVATIONS IN EVERY TIMEPIECE

The patented, one-of-a-kind technology that powers and protects every BALL watch is designed, tested and built to meet not only the most
stringent demands of watchmaking, but also of every wearer. From revolutionary micro gas lights for incredible luminosity to powerful anti-
shock protection systems, BALL watches are ready for any environment.

THE TECHNOLOGY

Engineer Hydrocarbon NEDU

1 SHOCK RESISTANCE
Every BALL watch undergoes rigorous testing to verify shock resistance up to 5,000Gs – and up to 7,500Gs for the Engineer Hydrocar-
bon collection. The crown, the glass, and the 9 o’clock position on the case are hit with a pendulum impact-testing machine to ensure
impeccable performance according to ISO 1413, but also BALL’s stringent standards.

2 ANTI-MAGNETISM
Most BALL watches boast a superb anti-magnetic case constructed with corrosion-resistant ferritic stainless steel materials. Inside, a soft
iron inner jacket protects the inner workings of the watch and prevents magnetic fields from penetrating the movement and decreasing
its accuracy.

3 WATER RESISTANCE
A watch’s level of water resistance is determined by the craftsmanship of the case back, the winding crown and the gaskets. During
testing, every watch is completely immersed in distilled water containing a wetting agent of 1% by weight and under the prescribed
atmospheric pressure for at least five minutes.

4 PATENTED HELIUM SYSTEM


The automatic helium release valve allows gas molecules to escape as the watch resurfaces from underwater depths. It is incorporated
directly into the crown of the Engineer Hydrocarbon NEDU. This exclusive BALL innovation eradicates a potential surface liable to warp
under the crushing effects of water pressure, thereby improving the timepiece’s water resistance even further.

THE TECHNOLOGY

Engineer Hydrocarbon Hunley

1 LUMINOUS CERAMIC BEZEL


BALL’s pioneering process allows luminescent paint to be added to a ceramic bezel. In this way, both the numbers and the graduation
of the bezel are luminescent, allowing them to be instantly read in the dark. The ceramic also renders the bezel extraordinarily resistant
to corrosion, scratches and UV rays.

2 CROWN PROTECTION SYSTEM


Directly connected to the heart of the mechanical movement, the crown is among the most at-risk parts of a watch. Every timepiece of
the Engineer Hydrocarbon collection features a patented crown protection system, guaranteeing superior water and shock resistance.
A protective plate is placed around the crown, which also ensures the crown must be screwed-in after every time adjustment.

3 AMORTISER® ANTI-SHOCK SYSTEM


The Amortiser® anti-shock system protects the mechanical movement against external shocks. This patented innovation consists of a
protective, anti-magnetic ring that runs around the mechanical movement and absorbs the energy created by side shocks. A switch on
the case back enables the rotor to be locked and unlocked as desired. This prevents the impact energy from being transmitted to the
movement, while the watch continues to run by drawing on its power reserve.

4 PATENTED FOLDING BUCKLE


BALL’s patented triple folding buckle with an extension system creates ultimate comfort for the wearer, even when worn with sport-
ing equipment. Machined from a unique block of stainless steel, it offers extreme resistance to the elements and long-lasting quality.
Perfectly balanced, the folding elements of the buckle can be opened with one hand while the mechanical lock can resist powerful
traction forces.

THE TECHNOLOGY

Engineer II Magneto S

1 A-PROOF® ANTI-MAGNETIC SYSTEM


The patented A-PROOF® device protects the mechanical movement against magnetic fields up to an incredible intensity of
80,000A/m. A magnetic trench box inside the watch’s case is made of mu-metal – an alloy of nickel, iron, copper and molybdenum –
which enables the system to attract and deviate magnetic field lines. On the case back, a diaphragm mechanism with a 0.06mm thick-
ness expands and retracts by circular motion of the bezel to lock or unlock the anti-magnetic protection cage. This mechanism reveals
the movement at work through the transparent case back.

2 SPRINGLOCK® ANTI-SHOCK SYSTEM


The balance-spring is the key watch regulating organ and one of the most fragile parts of a mechanical caliber. The
SpringLOCK® anti-shock system improves the protection of the caliber’s accuracy by reducing the balance-spring’s shock impact by
66%, in comparison to the Swiss certification standards of mechanical movements. A cage limits the unfurling of the coils in case of
any external impacts, prevents the deformation of the shape of the balance-spring itself and decreases the risk of breakage to the link
between the balance-spring and the balance.

THE TECHNOLOGY

Engineer II Volcano

REVOLUTIONARY MU-METAL AND CARBON COMPOSITE CASE


The links between volcanoes and magnetic fields inevitably led BALL Watch Company to create enhanced anti-magnetic protection for
mechanical timepieces. The case of the Engineer II Volcano is comprised of superimposed layers of carbon and mu-metal, a patented
composite material. The case displays a textured carbon appearance reminiscent of volcanic rock.

Carbon material provides excellent resistance to scratches and impacts, and only weighs about 50% as much as the steel customarily used
for watch cases, a significant gain of lightness on the wrist.

Mu-metal is an alloy of nickel, iron, copper and molybdenum with very high magnetic permeability, which gives anti-magnetic properties far
superior to the soft iron usually employed in watchmaking. The revolutionary structure of the mu-metal and carbon composite case allows
for an extremely high protection against magnetic fields, which the wearer is often exposed to in everyday life.

The Conductor collection combines the vintage lines of BALL’s first watches with the aesthetic codes and technical performance of contem-
porary watchmaking. The retro characteristics of the Conductor timepieces are found instinctively in their tonneau-shaped case, harkening
back to the first wristwatch designed by Webb C. Ball in the 1920s. Today’s watches feature a remarkable anti-reflective sapphire crystal that
give each one its convex form. The transparent case back, also fitted with a curved sapphire crystal, sits perfectly on the wrist. It is these
elements that instill the Conductor collection with its strong identity.
