After a collision just west of the city here in the late 1800's, he created some precision switching and timing devices for the industry which gave rise to the watch company. Due to his precision in his work, the phrase "Get on the Ball" is attributed to him and his work. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dave47 6,418 Posted January 12, 2021 HiYa, Gang! Welcome to the start of a new week; and, hopefully, the return of sanity at the National Level! For today, this newly arrived Pagani Design Aquaracer (#1668, I believe), secured from Ali.Express, with a nice green sunburst dial design and excellent design details. I had the blue faced one but sold it for some reason; the green dial was just too appealing, so here I go again. Big watch (47mm (c) x 14mm), but very comfy on the wrist. dave: 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teddy Baldassarre did a video about Ball from Kipton.
