Los cristales diseñados especialmente son creados por artesanos Waterford y están hechos para soportar fuertes vientos, lluvia y cambios de temperatura. La bola, el ícono de la víspera del Año Nuevo en Nueva York, debe ser resistente porque se coloca a una altura de 143 metros (470 pies) sobre Times Square. Se espera que miles de personas lleguen el jueves en la noche a esta concurrida zona de Nueva York.
