Collectible Mickey Mouse Wrist Watch

7/1/2024

1933 Ingersoll-Waterbury, a Connecticut clock maker on the brink of bankruptcy, sells the first Mickey Mouse watch. The success of these watches will rescue the company!

The first Mickey Mouse watches featured a smiling Mickey at the center, with his hands serving as the hour and minute indicators, and three smaller Mickey Mouse images on the dial. Priced at $3.25, the watch was affordable for a broad audience, with a less expensive pocket watch version also available.

The Mickey Mouse watch was an enormous success, selling over 2.5 million units in the first two years, and helping to save the Ingersoll-Waterbury Company from financial ruin. Its popularity marked a major milestone in the marketing of character-themed merchandise, setting a precedent for future licensing deals between entertainment companies and consumer goods manufacturers.

I DO NOT own one of these collector watches, but I do own a simple Mickey Mouse watch that I wear every time I visit Disneyland.
