This is a real "night time" photograph of Ball watch model #CM1020C-SJ-WH displaying the effect of the Self Powered Micro Gas gas light technology present in Ball watches. Ever since the invention of clocks, men have been faced with the challenge of telling time in the dark. In medieval times, the invention of mechanical clocks with repeater mechanisms, which chimed the hours and quarter-hours, brought a partial solution. Residents of towns lucky enough to be able to afford a clock and belfry could find the hour during the night with reasonable precision if they paid close attention to the chiming of the bells. In most villages, however, people had no choice but to use a sundial during the day and a graduated candle at night, an imprecise and expensive system. Self-Powered Micro Gas Lights (3H) are a novel light source manufactured by means of innovative Swiss laser technology that can be used on all types of watches. It provides superior, long-life brightness – 100 times brighter than the current markings using luminous paint, and with a useful life easily reaching 25 years. It does so without charging from the sun or the use of batteries. You can year in and year out read the watch quickly and safely in brightest daylight or deepest night.
