Gold Mickey Mouse Pocket Watch

Product Description

About Ingersoll: During their years of tireless creative urge, Robert and Charles Ingersoll, the founders of one of the oldest American watch manufacturers, established many milestones in the field of developing pocket and wrist watches. They followed an ambitious plan that incorporated on the one hand, to offer watches to the broad public, and on the other hand to offer reasonable prices whilst maintaining real quality. In 1892, thanks to Henry Ford, they succeeded in developing an automated method of production, first for pocket watches and later for wrist watches. Alongside the existing handcrafted production of Ingersoll watches, an automated production of watches was established.

With high quality and precision, at the very reasonable price of 1 dollar (which was a day's wages at the time) the so-called "Dollar-Watch" was born. The Dollar-Watch became so popular that about 1 million of these watches were produced. Even Theodore Roosevelt mentioned that during his hunting trip in Africa he was described as "the man from the country where Ingersoll was produced."

The success of the "Dollar Watch" (also called the "Yankee") from then on was amazing. The Ingersoll brothers had to adapt to increasing production and increasing production plants. Meanwhile, the product range had been expanded by some technical pioneering refinements. Also the production of the smallest pocket watch ever seen had begun. In 1919 the Ingersoll brothers developed the first watch with the so called "night design", the "Radiolite" with luminous dial.

Update - Micky watch has character and well worth the wait.

UPDATE. . . I reordered the watch and fount it working and keeping time, the problems I experienced earlier were no longer present. It looks and feels like a great time piece, I wear it often. It was worth the reorder. Also delivered in a timely fashion. The two year warranty does help.

First Post. . .I am conflicted! The watch looks great but it didn't keep time! Also the loop on which the chain is affixed came off with little effort. This was validated by early comments. Returning it was no problem and the delivery was on time. For this reason I gave it 3 stars. Having said that I ordered another one with the hopes that I'd get a good one. Avail a nice looking timepiece.

Sono un amante del merchandising Disney e questo orologio che riproduce uno dei primi modelli Ingersoll, è bellissimo!

Unico appunto è la confezione che l'accompagna: mi attendevo qualcosa di più "professionale".
