Ben in Switzerland, 20061208 viewsI'm Remo from Switzerland and I'm a big Football fan.
Well American Football is not that popular in Switzerland like Soccer or Ice hockey. But anyway for me it's a great sport and I like to watch them every Sunday. Like you know Big Ben has his roots in Switzerland . During his visit after winning the Super Bowl in 2006, I was lucky to met Ben at 'Lauperswil' and was able to talk to him and his father. He is a really nice guy and who knows, maybe one day he will come back to Switzerland or I will visit a game in Pittsburgh. Sorry my English isn’t that good but I hope you can use some of the pictures for your great website.
Greetings from Switzerland,
Remo

From Vogard.com1199 viewsThe American Football star Ben Roethlisberger and his family recently paid a visit to Switzerland to discover their ancestry through the Swiss Roots organisation. Many typically Swiss customs and traditions were introduced to Ben during his five-day trip, but the one he found most interesting was watchmaking. Ben is a great watch enthusiast and so, at a special ceremony in his ancestral town of Lauperswil, he was presented with a VOGARD Personal Edition watch by the brand's creator, Michael Vogt. Ben asked to have the names of Pittsburgh and Lauperswil incorporated into the bezel and for the watch case to be engraved with No. 07, his Pittsburgh Steelers playing number.
Ben’s comment on the patented timezoner movement was brief and concise: "That’s a touch down". Michael is delighted that, from now on, everywhere Ben goes he will be accompanied by a little piece of Switzerland.
