KISS: Photographing a legend in concert for Ball Watch Company.

I had the pleasure of photographing the legendary band KISS for Ball Watch in Orlando Florida. Eric Singer, the drummer for KISS (and frankly one of the best drummers in the world) totally rocks a Ball Watch because they are so reliable under adverse conditions. 

BALL Watch, founded in 1891, played a crucial role in the development of America’s railroads through focusing on accuracy and reliability. Manufactured in Switzerland to the highest of specifications, their signature feature is glow-in-the-dark technology using Trituim Tubes that shines for up to 25 years without requiring a power source. 

One of the best drummers in the world, Eric Singer, wearing the world's debut of the Black Rock Ball Watch inspired by Rock climber Alex Honnold.
