incoming Ball watch

[ingoodtime]

So, being a watch enthusiast, I had wanted to someday get a watch made by the Ball watch company. Ball watch has a great story as they were the official watch if the ameri an railroad in the 1800s. Good timekeeping was necessary for conductors and engineers to stop trains from crashing as happened all to often in the early days of railroad transportstion.

I finally ordered a limited edition automatic Ball watch with radioactive gas tubes on the hour markers and hands. Those tubes are lit blue and should stay lit for somewhere between 10 and 25 years before needing replacement. I ordered the watch in December and it just arrived today, # 47 out of 1000. I am very happy with the outstanding build quality. The hour markers and hands have a blue glow.
Here is the link to the history of Ball watch. It is a preet good read. https://www.ballwatch.com/global/1/company/history.html
