This is the ultimate in a railroad watch. Webb C. Ball, the man that organized the Time Zones in the United States marketed his own watch through other American makers. In this case it was a Hamilton from Lancaster PA. He was a watchmaker and clockmaker and owned the Webb C. Ball jeweler in Cleveland. This is certainly the finest example of this model we have ever seen. The kiln fired enamel dial is in perfect flawless condition and the watch keeps dependable time. This is a lever setting watch and it also comes with a period chain. If you are looking for an exceptional example of a high grade railroad watch, this is the one you want.
