First manufactured seventy-five years ago, in 1933 by Ingersoll, the Mickey Mouse watch has been a staple for Disney collectors worldwide.
Ingersoll was the exclusive maker of these jewelry style watches for many years, even as they went through corporate changes. Eventually Ingersoll became Timex, one of the world’s largest watch makers. Ingersoll Mickey watches can often sell today for several hundred dollars, depending on the condition and style.
Bradley took over the sole license for these watches in 1972 and produced some of the most collectible watches available today. They can be purchased on eBay relatively inexpensively, though.
Lorus was the last of the exclusive licensees, producing Disney watches starting in 1987. Today, several different companies produce these timepieces.
