TRAINMASTER LIMITED EDITIONS
AN ILLUMINATING LOOK AT OUR RAILROAD HERITAGE.
In celebration of 135 years of standard time, BALL Watch Co. presents two limited edition timepieces: the 43mm Trainmaster Cannonball chronograph and the 40mm Trainmaster Standard Time 135th Anniversary. Inspired by Webb C. Ball’s official railroad standard watch, both models feature our remarkable micro gas tube luminosity, heritage aesthetics and enamel dials. Two timepieces that simultaneously honor tradition and meet the demands of today’s modern explorer.Limited to 1,000 pieces each, the Trainmaster limited edition series is now available at an exclusive pre-order price until 27 June 2018.
PIONEERING READABILITY MEETS LASTING LUMINOSITY.
Men of the railroad required robust tools built with practicality and durability in mind. Knowing this, Webb C. Ball designed watches that delivered instant and clear time reading. Our legacy of readability endures, as every hour is accompanied by a circular micro gas tube for strong luminosity and easy reading in darkness. The understated use of the gas tubes allows the railroad heritage to truly shine.

The understated use of the gas tubes allows the railroad heritage to truly shine.
A TRUE MEASURE OF PRECISION.
While the two chronograph subdials on the Trainmaster Cannonball feature stunning detail, they allow for the measurement of up to 45 minutes. The dial at the 3 o’clock position counts elapsed seconds and the dial at 9 o’clock displays the accumulated minutes. And with the chronograph’s Arabic numerals harmonizing perfectly with the main dial, the timepiece delivers a strong all-around elegance. The Standard Time 135th Anniversary showcases a striking curved sapphire crystal and houses a polished ETA 2892 movement for utmost reliability.
A BEAUTIFUL LOOK AT HISTORY.
As part of the Trainmaster collection, both models are inspired by railroad pocket watches. The enamel dial gives the timepiece a striking identity, which is enhanced by the Arabic numerals that harken back to a bygone era. With sheer elegance, the poire squelette hands make it a pleasure to read the time of day, while the heritage-style crown offers easy operability. In celebrating an epic era, no details have been overlooked.
Although standard time modernized timekeeping, Webb C. Ball revolutionized it forever.
AN OBSESSION WITH PRECISION.
The implementation of standard time combined with Webb C. Ball’s watchmaking revolution led to safer train travel across a growing web of steel. At his death, he was the General Time Inspector for more than 125,000 miles of track in the United States, Canada and Mexico, having contributed more than any other man to official railroad timekeeping. His work has proven to be imperative, extraordinary and enduring.
