Watches for the challenge and conquest

 

For more than a century, Ball watches have been recognized as meeting the highest standards of precision, reliability and the strength to withstand the most adverse conditions, as summed up in the slogan:

Since 1891, accuracy under adverse conditions.

Towards the end of the 1990s, Ball Watch changed owners, but remained loyal to its philosophy. The brand used its technical prowess to reach out to new and unknown horizons of personal challenge and it is fast becoming the chosen watch of sportspeople, explorers and adventurers, who have been made its ambassadors. Determination and the love of a challenge, precision, strength, performance and humility are all human traits that defined the early pioneers of rail transport and which today still reflect the values of Ball Watch.

High performance as a reference

A spirit of adventure, a love of a challenge, endurance and no-nonsense aesthetics: these are the common denominators of Ball Watch timepieces, robust watches that express an authentic strength of character. Capable of exceptional performance, they are equipped with unparalleled technical capabilities that enable them to confront the most adverse conditions with complete peace of mind for the wearer. Their classic design and their natural elegance personify the most remarkable technical exploits in a completely understated manner.

One of the exclusive qualities of Ball watches is the perfect dial visibility even in the complete absence of any light thanks to the use of Micro Gas Lights (3H). Other specific features of the Ball brand include their extraordinary strength designed specifically to meet the intended use of each of the various models, and their water-resistance to 300 meters for the Engineer Hydrocarbon series (and even up to 1,000 meters for the Engineer Hydrocarbon Alligator), dedicated to the great explorers.

From the USA to Switzerland: a return to the origins of watch-making

While the American origins of Ball Watch define a somewhat singular evolution for this watch-making brand, the march of its success has steadily advanced to conquer other continents. First, Asia with its rapidly growing market, and since 2006, across Europe: Spain, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Turkey and Switzerland. Ball Watch definitively took up residence in  the canton of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, in 2003. This return to the universal origins of watch-making marked the commitment to bring together all the brand’s strengths under the one roof.
