About Ball

Ball Watch takes its name from Webb C. Ball, a jeweler in Cleveland, Ohio, who set up his business in 1891 and went on to write the timekeeping standards used by American railroads. The phrase "on the ball" is often linked to his name.

Today Ball watches are Swiss made. Their signature is the light: tiny sealed glass tubes on the hands and hour markers that glow continuously without needing to be charged by daylight. Most models are built as tool watches, with attention to shock and magnetic resistance.

Signature models

Engineer
The core family: Engineer II, Engineer III, Engineer M with the brand's own movements, and the Engineer Hydrocarbon for diving and exploration.
Roadmaster
Sports watches with rotating bezels, including GMT and world-time versions.
Trainmaster
Dress watches that recall the railroad pocket watches the company began with.

What to know before you buy

  • The gas tubes glow on their own for many years and slowly dim; brightness is not something a service resets, so ask us about the year of the watch.
  • Many Ball models are limited editions with the number engraved on the case: the listing states it where it applies.

Where to buy a Ball: your options

A Ball can be bought from an authorized dealer, from an independent dealer such as Watchflix NYC, or from other sellers on the grey market. The table shows how they usually differ. Watchflix NYC is independent and not affiliated with Ball.
