I always have appreciated their simple masculine looks that weren't trying to hard to be something they were not.From the a mechanical thermometer, to complex chronographs, and multi-timezone laden watches; Ball does have some interesting offerings.

Omega Speedmaster for $63,000
My NAWCC news tells me that four limited edition co-axial Omega Speedmaster Professionals, each the last in their production run celebrating the 50th anniversary of this chronograph, sold for mega buck at a charity auction in Berlin on 7/11/07.There was one white gold, one pink gold, one yellow gold, and one stainless steel watche in a production run of only 57. All four watches were the last of the run, i.e. 57/57. The white gold one went for $63,000; the pink gold and yellow gold ones went for $48,00 each, and the SS one went for $21,000.All proceeds went to charities for children.Lovely watches; worthy charities; cool auction idea!
