Btw, i guess not many people aware that Ball is not owned by american now. It has been bought by a Hong Kong family sometime back. Basically, they are still doing a good job in marketing the great american history while using some china sourced parts, basic complete ETA ebauque and assembled them in Swiss.
Not sure If you come accross the news that Cecil Chau who is willing to pay 500 million to recruit son in law recently? His daughter is basically seeing the daughter of Ball's owners, Yeung family. 
There are quite a number of Swiss brands have been bought and owned by chinese people now.
