We have done many repairs that others have given up on. Not only can we take preemptive measures to keep your watch running for a long time, but we can restore watches that have seen better days. Our expert watchmakers strive to make sure your watch can be worn for many years to come. We know that your Disney watch is important to you and understand that the sentimental value more often than not outweighs the monetary value. Dozens of brands, through the years, have put their own unique twist on the Mickey Mouse style.
From the 1930s, the Ingersoll-built Mickey Mouse watch kicked off the popularity of the branding. In 1932, Kaymen signed a 50/50 split deal with the Disney brothers for all licensing profits. Mickey mouse watch branding was devised by marketing guru, Herman 'Kay' Kaymen. One thing is certain, Mickey Mouse is alive and well. The timepieces range from luxury Swiss mechanical to brand-name quartz to fashion, depending on the brand. So, it’s time to return to my first question.The Walt Disney Company have come together for nearly 100 years now, with dozens of brands, to manufacturer their branded watches. We will also be offering these watches on our Disney Parks On-Line Store. At both events, there will be a representative from Timex to discuss the new watches and answer questions. In California, we will hold an event on December 11 in the Fortuosity Shop at Disneyland park. In Florida, an event will be held at the World of Disney Store on December 4. To launch the “Timex for Disney” collection, we are holding two special events. Being the developer for timepieces, I like pairing great watches with my outfits. I’m happy that we are offering a variety of designs. “The nylon bands are sportier than the Modern Easy Reader design. “I also like the Modern Original Camper designs,” continued Lindsay. Some of Lindsay’s inspiration came from classic Mickey Mouse designs to some recent urban inspired graphics seen in other merchandise categories like the “Oh Mickey!” program. It reminds me of the kind of watch that my grandfather and father had.”Īrtwork for these watches was created by artists from Disney Design Group. If I had to pick one, I like the gold classic digital watch. “Each design has elements and details that make the watch unique. “I have a difficult time selecting just one design,” said Lindsay. I like their simplistic style with a nice contemporary Mickey Mouse accent. The T-Series Chronographs are pictured next. I like the Modern Easy Reader style pictured at the top of this article as it reminds me of that watch I had as a kid. Of the several different watch styles that will be introduced, I find it challenging to pick my favorite. It seemed like a perfect fit to introduce this collection to the Disney Parks.” “Timex watches are well-known and well-made with both classic and trendy designs. “I’ve been working on this partnership since January 2010,” explained Lindsay. I spoke with Lindsay Voigt, product developer for timepieces, about this collection coming to Disney Parks (and on-line) in December. I am excited to share that Disney Theme Park Merchandise has partnered with Timex to create a new “Timex for Disney” collection. Some of those early watches are wonderful collectors’ items today (show of hands – do you have one?). Mickey Mouse timepieces were introduced to the public at the Chicago World’s Fair in June 1933 and quickly became a hit with fans of the little mouse.
DISNEY TIMEWORKS WATCHES LICENSE
In 1933, Timex (then the Waterbury Clock Company), produced the very first Mickey Mouse clocks and watches under an exclusive license from Disney. I must have been about four or five when I received it, and I still have it today. It was a Mickey Mouse watch that had a blue nylon band.
Do you remember your first Disney watch? I do.
