After dark, 19 micro gas tubes glow in a spectrum of colours across the hands and dial. Water resistant to 100 metres and finished on a 904L bracelet with folding buckle, it is made in just 1,000 pieces.

About Ball
Ball traces its roots to Ohio's railroads. After the Great Kipton train wreck of April 1891, jeweller Webb C. Ball was appointed Chief Time Inspector, and his strict inspection standards reshaped American railroad timekeeping. The Webb C. Ball Watch Company was formed in 1894 to distribute railroad watches, and in 2001 Ball introduced the first mechanical watch lit by micro gas tubes.
