Ball Watch

[Exigeowner]

Just come accross www.ballwatch.com seems to have some really nice models, not sure of prices and only 3 sellers in the Uk.

Go here for the prices:-

www.jurawatches.co.uk

The music on their site seems Russian but the company's address is in Switzerland. Seems that the cost from £500 up to over £1,000 but with no history I'd rather buy a proven Seiko cheaper or add a bit for a Sinn.

Ball Standard Watch company was established in 1890, built to set strict accuracy standards for railroad watches and clocks after a major crash in 1891 in the USA, always swiss built though.

Their PR line is: "Accuracy Under Adverse Conditions"

I've got one because theyre well made, solid and good value for money, but also mainly for the "gadgets" like being anti-magnetic, micro gas lights for night reading and mechnical temprature guage. Not for you if you want people know what your wearing, best stick to Tag/Omega for that.

Toyed with getting an Ionosphere from these guys. Would have needed to get from Glasgow to either Leeds or London to have a look at one though as like you say - Selfidges are the only distributor.

Look quite good for the money.

Went for an IWC Pilots Chrono instead.

I always thought they were American made cos of their link with the US railroad.....how wrong was I.

I've got an Engineer Master II Diver and I love it, one of my favourite watches that I own. I fell in love with it when I first saw it and am so glad I bought one - nice to wear something that's a bit different and that people don't know about.
