Building rugged watches without testing them in the great outdoors is silly when you think about it. Ball Watch has the same idea and therefore mountaineer Hervé Barmasse is the brand’s latest ambassador who wears his Ball Watch wherever he ventures. Currently, Hervè is the only climber who has conquered the 1,500 meters to the south wall of the Matterhorn alone, and the only person in the world that has established a new route for this purpose. He has conquered routes considered impossible: Beka Brakay Chhok in Pakistan (6.970 meters), and the granite walls of Cerro Piergiorgio in Patagonia.
