    Yes, Ball watches are Swiss-made. Although the company was founded in the United States, it relocated to La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, in the 20th century. Since then, Swiss artisans have done all the assembly and finishing work. Ball watches also feature Swiss movements and components. Some are made in-house, while others come from other Swiss makers, such as ETA. Explore a range of watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 5, 2024
    Yes, Ball watches are a luxury brand. Founded in 1891 in Cleveland, Ohio, the company has a long tradition of expertly crafting watches intended to perform reliably in tough conditions. The watchmaker now has its headquarters in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, where it assembles and finishes its watches and produces some of its own movements and components. Ball is particularly well-known for introducing technologies that enhance the durability of its timepieces, such as a protective crown that reduces the risk of the face shattering due to impact. Compared to some other luxury makers, Ball offers its watches at more accessible prices, so some people consider the brand to be entry-level luxury. Explore an assortment of watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 22, 2024
