Shore Four

Ball Watches has a laser-like focus. Their goal is to produce "accuracy under adverse conditions." It's their mantra, and well it should be. Ball creates watches that are rugged, durable and precise when most other watches would fail. Like the railroad legacy that belongs to the company due to their long term commitment to excellence, Ball Watch will never compromise on quality and delivering on the promise.

Ball Watch company was established by Webster Clay Ball. He set up shop in 1891 in Cleveland, Ohio. Interestingly, at that time communities and towns across the US kept local time. Then standard time was established, where the time zone was enlarged. Ball created time signals in Cleveland in his quest to bring time accuracy to the city. The Superintendent of Lake Shore Lines noted the work that Ball was doing and asked him to become the Chief Inspector of the lines. This request securely placed Ball literally in the center of the annals of time.

The Superintendent wanted ball to study time issues and record watch usage on Lake Shore Lines and create a system of inspection. The line had suffered a recent fatal accident that could have been avoided had the proper timepieces been in place.

Ball created a intricate national network that included Canada and Mexico. The watches worn by the rail workers were inspected every two weeks where variations of more than thirty seconds were not allowed.

Ball Watch company had tremendous impact on safety on the nations railways making it the national treasure it is today. Ball himself was acknowledged for his work in keeping millions of riders safe. The work Ball did at the time is still influencing the railways today.

The Ball watch collection is absolutely American in its design and simplicity. When a professional needs a watch to perform a task and needs the watch to be reliable, Ball watches are the ones that are sought after.

Imaginative, inventive, and filled with Brin's trademark mix of adventure, passion, and wit, Infinity's Shore carries us further than ever before into the heart of the most beloved and extraordinary science fiction sagas ever written. For the fugitive settlers of Jijo, it is truly the beginning of the end. As starships fill the skies, the threat of genocide hangs over the planet that once peacefully sheltered six bands of sapient beings. Now the human settlers of Jijo and their alien neighbors must make heroic--and terrifying--choices. A scientist must rally believers for a cause he never shared. And four youngsters find that what started as a simple adventure--imitating exploits in Earthling books by Verne and Twain--leads them to the dark abyss of mystery. Meanwhile, the Streaker, with her fugitive dolphin crew, arrives at last on Jijo in a desperate search for refuge. Yet what the crew finds instead is a secret hidden since the galaxies first spawned intelligence--a secret that could mean salvation for the planet and its inhabitants...or their ultimate annihilation.
