Something to watch out for. The original Mickey Mouse wristwatch, first made by Ingersoll in 1933, is being reproduced. It has a round dial with Mickey Mouse on the face, his arms serving as the watch’s hands and his yellow gloves pointing to the numbers. His feet are positioned just inside the numbers 5 and 7, which do not have bar indicators. A subdial features three running mice. Unlike the original, the reproduction is made with a quartz movement and does not include “Mickey Mouse Ingersoll” on the watch face. Until now, most reproductions were copies of the 1934 version.
