An Unwavering Commitment to Precision, Unchanged Today
In the 19th century, Webster Clay Ball established the standards for "railroad standard watches," which became synonymous with high precision in America. The "BALL" founded by him continues to uphold the commitment to precise timekeeping, even now with its headquarters in Switzerland.
In today's society, magnetism is cited as a factor that affects watch accuracy. While computers and smartphones are known to generate strong magnetic fields, magnetic resistance is particularly important for business professionals surrounded by such devices.
Therefore, BALLWATCH has upgraded the magnetic resistance plate of the "Engineer II Marvelight," a popular entry-level model known for its high performance, to Mu-metal, a special alloy. This achieves a magnetic resistance of 80,000 A/m.
There are two types of watch magnetic resistance standards: Type 1 and Type 2. Type 2 is more stringent, with 16,000 A/m considered the benchmark, allowing the watch to maintain its performance even when within 1 cm of a magnetic source. In that context, the "Engineer II Marvelight's" 80,000 A/m offers five times the performance of Type 2. This means you can use it without worrying about magnetic fields generated in your daily environment.

Designed with the theme of "pure white" to bring a fresh feeling, the "Engineer II Marvelight Japan Limited" was created for business professionals seeking a step up in mechanical watches, encouraging them to face their work with confidence. This design is sure to make a sincere impression on first encounters.
