The History Of The Ball Watch Company

To a large extent, the development of the watch industry, in America, can be attributed to the advent and later development of American railroads. Through tragedy, the need for uniformed time within the railroad system helped push the Ball Watch Company to success.

Unfortunate that a Swiss shell company owned by a Hong Kong shell company can produce watches that benefit from over 100 years of American ingenuity and engineering advancements.

I wish someone would buy Ball from the Chinese and move production to either Switzerland or the United States.
