Workers installed 192 new sparkling crystal triangles from the Waterford Crystals onto the ball for replacement on the roof of the One Times Square building, where the ball is located year round. With small rosette cuts flowing into each other in beautiful harmony, the crystal triangles "seek the refuge of accord and compatibility amid the discourse of the world for the betterment of all," said a press release.
