They tried to change him, to steal his chances, to erase him from the history books. But athlete Jim Thorpe proved that desire and perseverance always prevail – from his gold-medal performances in Stockholm in 1912 to continually raising the bar of human resilience.
In tribute, BALL Watch Company presents the Engineer III Bright Path, featuring a special tigerite dial. A symbol of strength, tigerite displays uniquely distinct patterns and color variations. No two dials are ever the same. Limited to 1000 pieces each, encased in 904L stainless steel case and complemented by unwavering luminosity.
A burst of lightning.
In daylight, BALL’s micro gas tube hour batons offer a striking contrast against the beautiful tigerite dial. But once the sun goes down, the batons come alive. Like no other form of luminescence used in watchmaking, the tritium gas inside each hour baton shines automatically in darkness, emitting an intense glow that does not fade over time. The miniature tubes also adorn each hour hand for full-circle brightness. When the road to greatness runs through darkness, gear up with luminosity that goes the distance.
Tigerite: strength carved by time.
An emblem of resilience, strength and courage, tigerite is a golden-brown gemstone known for its chatoyancy. This reflective quality creates a cat’s-eye effect that makes the dial appear to shimmer depending on the angle of the light. Creating a tigerite dial is a meticulous process with the goal of showcasing the stone’s natural beauty, all while ensuring its hardness. Every dial features the fascinating interplay of golden-brown hues, subtle stripes and shimmering qualities. No two tigerite dials will look exactly alike. Ever.
