This striking Ball Engineer II Classic (model NM1016C-S-BK) is a testament to Ball Watch Company's rich history of precision timekeeping and rugged durability.

Ball, a Cleveland, Ohio jeweler, revolutionized railroad timekeeping after a tragic train collision highlighted the critical need for reliable and synchronized watches. Ball's rigorous standards for watch accuracy became the benchmark for the industry, ensuring the safety and punctuality of rail travel. This commitment to precision continues to this day in watches like this Engineer II Classic.
