Ball and BMW Team Up For New Watch Collection
Ball Watch Company, whose history is rooted in the early days of train travel, has taken its watchmaking talents from the rails to the roads, collaborating with German luxury automaker BMW to introduce a new line of watches, called Ball for BMW. The Ball for BMW collection, whose development has been headed up by noted BMW designer Magali Metrailler, is heavily influenced by the aerodynamic lines and ergonomic details of BMW cars and their engines. The line is composed thus far of the Classic, a three-hand model with date; the GMT, with second time zone; and a Power Reserve model. All the watches have automatic ETA movements that have been certified as chronometers by COSC.The watches feature alternating polished and satin-finished surfaces and screw-down crowns that evoke the detailing on BMW dashboard knobs.

Rolex USA communication to ADs
Apologies if this has already been posted, but I just came across this letter from Rolex USA to ADs. Ironically, I found this note when a grey dealer in Hong Kong posted it on his WeChat feed to let customers know that the new watches he sold would increasingly not have stickers!If Rolex in Asia has not issued a similar decree, I would expect the local premium grey dealers charge for new, stickered 888 (Hong Kong) watches will increase.
