TIMES SQUARE, Manhattan -- Workers put the finishing touches on the New Year's Eve Ball with the installation of 192 new Waterford crystals.

The new design utilizes three pineapple cuts signifying the traditional image of hospitality and goodwill.

It sits atop the roof of One Times Square, and measures 12 feet in diameter and weighs nearly 12,000 pounds.

The Ball is covered with a total of 2,688 Waterford Crystal triangles that vary in size, and range in length from 4 3/4 inches to 5 3/4 inches per side.
