Buy Mickey Mouse Watches Online

By


When I was a kid and first learned how to tell time, I wanted a Mickey Mouse watch. It didn't happen though. A child of the 70s, instead, I recieved a different kind of watch. My dad piicked it out. It had a wide, hot pink wrist band with the outline of black hearts and love written all over it. The watch actually snapped onto the watchband. Even at that age, I can remember thinking it was hideous-looking, but I didn't want to hurt his feelings.

History of the Mickey Mouse Watch

Mickey Mouse made his first debut in Steamboat Willie on November 18, 1928. Five years later, the first Mickey Mouse watch was sold in 1933. Made by Ingersoll Waterbury Clock Co. of Waterbury, CN, it sold for $3.95. Around the same time, they also made a pocket watch for $1.50. In time, they came out with Minnie Mouse and Goofy watches. The popularity of these Disney character watches have continued throughout time. They not only make children's and women's watches, but men's watches too. Today, several watch companies sell Mickey Mouse watches. These include: Seiko, Fossil, Colibri, and Disney Time Works.

Today, Mickey Mouses are just as popular now as when they first came out. In fact, even the models that came out in the early 70s have appreciated in value. When Goofy came out by Helbros in 1972, the watch sold for $19.95. Two decades later, collectors were paying up to $700 for one.
