Vintage 1933 Sears Wire Lug Mickey Mouse Wrist Watch Ingersoll 30s Disney

Posted on October 22, 2019 by admin

Vintage Ingersoll 1933-34 Mickey Mouse Sears Wire Lug Mechanical Wrist Watch Working Rare. This style of watch is recognised as the Sears version. The case has the geometric art deco style Bezel with fixed wire lugs. This case was only used on the early models, so its relatively rare. With matching original metal bracelet link strap. Early Disney marketing at its best! Not working but it ticks for short periods, so will need a service. The little Mickeys rotate on the seconds dial. In very good overall condition, with marks and wear commensurate with age and use. Chrome in very good condition with surface wear. There is wear on the underneath of the bracelet links. Dial in very good condition. Hands in very good condition. Vintage low domed bevelled edge mineral glass clean and clear. Measures approx 32mm in diameter (excluding crown and lugs). Please see photos, thanks. This was the start of the Mickey Mouse Watch phenomenon… While it was marketed for kids (generations of children have learned to tell the time with them). But what made Mickey Mouse Watches a pop culture phenomenon was the adult stars that wore them. Grace Kelly, Sammy Davis Jr, John Lennon, Andy Warhol, Lauren Hutton, and television talk show host Johnny Carson all sported Mickey Mouse watches. Astronaut Wally Schirra brought one aboard the Apollo 7 spacecraft that orbited the Earth in 1968. Astronaut Gene Cernan took his Mickey to the moon on Apollo 10 in 1969. More recently they have appeared on screen with Tom Hanks wearing one in the movies Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code. The character Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) wears a Mickey Mouse watch which was a present from his parents.
