For the Ball Watch Company, timekeeping has always been a serious matter. 19th century jeweler Webb C. Ball developed strict standards for railway timekeeping—error greater than 30 seconds was unacceptable. The company that bears his name today continues to uphold the same definition of success. Our CEO Pick of the Month for August, the Ball Fireman Storm Chaser Pro, offers a contemporary take on the company's heritage for accuracy. This automatic chronograph features a 42mm shock resistant stainless steel case, and an attractive utilitarian dial. There's even a telemeter integrated into the bezel to gauge the relative distance of an observable phenomenon. Whether you intend to approximate the distance of a lightning strike or just want the time at a glance from a handsome wristwatch, the Storm Chaser is available in 4 distinct dial color and strap combinations. The MSRP, ranging from $3,399 to $3,499 depending on the strap, is certainly commensurate for such a well-built watch with a Swiss-made automatic chronograph movement.
