Finally we are on the Ball!!!
I would encourage any interested members to check out the Ball Watch website (click at the top of the page) and then click on "Ball Museum Tour".
It will give a number of dates and locations of the tour.
I was lucky enough to see it last fall in Stoneham Mass. at "The Watchmaker" (Ball AD) and it was very cool.
It's not a huge traveling show but they do fill up a couple of showcases with some amazing and historical timepieces including the watch worn by Webb C. Ball-founder of the Company.
There are also some beautiful antique pocket watches that really have to be seen in person to be fully appreciated.
If any of the Jewelers listed are accessible to you I highly suggest that you drop by.

Hey Foggy, Just spent some time on the site, looks like many great looking watches.... Too bad (or maybe a good thing  ) there isn't a dealer too close by.. Hopefully the tour will come to the south sometime this year, sounds like a great show... |

Hi Jeremy,
Do you know if there is the possibility the tours will be expanded beyond the cities listed? Specifically, the Atlanta or even Georgia / Tennesee area? Or will this continue next year if successful? Looks like the nearest to me is about 500 miles, St Pete..
BTW, you mentioned above on the Aug 10 date "(Ball Watch USA)". Is the US headquarters in St. Pete?

Just got back from ball tour here in St Pete.
Its worth a look, when it comes to your area, about 10 people there when I was there, 7 wearing Rolex.
I must admit, I had my Yacht Master on my wrist as well. I did not buy, makes me wonder, is Ball just a second watch? and a watch for collectors.
I cant see it being anymore. I dont wish to upset our ball Enthusiast's, what do you think?

I've seen the museum tour and have looked up close and personal at the Ball watch offerings at the local AD. I also am a Ball watch owner.
IMHO it's hard for me to see these as "second" watches unless you only have one watch when you buy your first Ball!!

Is the US headquarters in St. Pete? We tend to limit the Museum Tour to Authorized Dealers, but there's always the possibility of coming to another event. For instance, when we've sponsored TimeZone get-togethers in the past, we've brought portions of the Ball Museum Tour. Ball Watch USA and Jeff Hess's watch retail store are on the same block in St. Petersburg. |
