red in the service of the railroad industry to<br />

Extreme Sportsmen & Adventurers<br />
Brian Binnie<br />
Spacecraft altitude record holder (367,442 feet<br />
in space) as pilot of the SpaceShipOne Shuttle<br />
With its twenty<br />
year experience as naval<br />
pilot of the United States<br />
Navy, Brian Binnie be -<br />
came in 2004 the second<br />
person to win the title of<br />
astronaut onboard a nongovernmental<br />
aircraft<br />
as SpaceShipOne shut -<br />
tle pilot. Today, space<br />
tourism has become a reality thanks to Brian<br />
Binnie. In a near future, this extreme pilot will be<br />
taking the SpaceShipTwo shuttle with seven<br />
passengers onboard to an altitude of more than<br />
100 km. At that distance, the earth is a horizon<br />
separated from the blackness of space by a thin<br />
blue ribbon. As a tribute to the spirit of pushing<br />
the boundaries of its ambassador, BALL Watch<br />
has developed a series of exceptional timepieces<br />
with the Engineer Hydrocarbon Spacemaster ’s<br />
models.<br />
dangerous forces. Nonetheless, in their exal -<br />
tation, they know that, as simple mortals, to<br />
remain humble when facing nature’ s power.<br />
BALL Watch very much understands these<br />
great human qualities, also found in the early<br />
railroad pioneers who labored strenuously in<br />
their hyper-powerful locomotives.<br />
To meet the strict requirements of these ambassadors<br />
in the achievement of their respective<br />
disciplines, BALL Watch has conceived<br />
timepieces of the Third Millennium: watches<br />
capable of resisting all stress tests, with strong<br />
and powerful designs so that their appearance<br />
is striking at the very first glance.<br />
