The Introduction Of Vintage Mickey Mouse Watches

It is interesting to note the history behind these Mickey Mouse watches... Mickey actually made his first appearance on a wrist watch before the Great Depression, in 1933. This first watch was created by Ingersoll-Waterbury who sold more than 11,000 of them on the day that they were first released. These sold for only $3 at Macy's in New York, which helped keep Ingersoll-Waterbury (which is now known as Timex) from having to file bankruptcy.

Soon after this Ingersoll-Waterbury introduced a pocket watch that also featured Mickey Mouse. It sold for just $1.50. Over the past 77 years, various other styles and versions of these watches have been released. Now you can find everything from a Bulgari watch with diamond accents that features Mickey Mouse to a cheap, plastic Mickey Mouse watch from your local dollar store. As such, you can honestly say that there really is a Mickey Mouse watch available for everyone, regardless of their socio-economic class.
