Judd was joined by other big-timers and their partners including Luke Hodge, Dale Thomas, Luke Ball, Adam McPhee, Brodie Holland, Lenny Hayes, Shane Crawford, Brad Miller, Matt Maguire and fellow Saint Nick Riewoldt.

The St Kilda champ attended with girlfriend Stephanie McIntosh, formerly of Neighbours and now a globetrotting entertainer, and she said the new watches both were wearing might help Riewoldt track her down.

"It might help Nick know which time zone I'm in," she said.

"Hopefully now he'll know what time to ring me now."

Yes Batnoe, they are a very reputable watch brand from Switzerland, been around for years & have long been associated with timing equipment for sporting events.

AFL timekeepers with the new equipment

A SWISS watchmaker will become the official timekeeper of the AFL for the next three seasons.
AFL football operations general manager Adrian Anderson said the Swiss Timing technicians, on behalf of TISSOT, would control all league matches this season
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> â€œThe equipment includes sound alerts to the timekeepers at key decision moments during the match such as when time-on is being added.

â€œOur timekeepers have been involved in an intensive program and will be trialling the equipment in conjunction with our old equipment in the first four rounds of the premiership season.â€
