About Mickey Mouse
From the time that he burst onto the silver screen in 1928,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Mickey Mouse has been making history. That premier film was Steamboat Willie, the first cartoon with sound ever to be shown in theaters. The character was created by Walt Disney, who had already created another successful cartoon character, Oswald the Rabbit. It is said that Walt Disney drew the lovable mouse while taking a train ride with his wife. He first dubbed the mouse "Mortimer," but his wife disliked that name and suggested "Mickey Mouse." Disney and his top animator Ub Iwerks proceeded to fine tune the new character and develop a cartoon around him. Audiences fell in love with Mickey and flocked to theaters to see the cheerful mouse. Product manufacturers couldn't wait to cash in on the Mickey Mouse craze, and before long there were dolls, handkerchiefs, banks, clocks and watches, all bearing the image of Mickey Mouse.
Mickey Mouse Watch History
Mickey Mouse watches have been around almost as long as Mickey Mouse has! Just five years after the first Mickey Mouse film, the first Mickey Mouse watch was made. In 1933 the Ingersoll-Waterbury company made the first Mickey Mouse watch, saving itself from bankruptcy in the process. The watch was so popular that over 11,000 were sold on the first day alone. Today the Ingersoll wrist watch is a highly sought collector's item, as is the pocket watch that the company produced soon afterwards.
Other watch companies decided throw their hats into the ring, coming out with their own versions of Mickey Mouse watches. Over the years dozens watches have been made by watch manufacturers located all over the world.
Mickey Mouse Watches
Although each watch bears the image of Mickey Mouse, the different watchmakers have tried to tweak the design to make it their own over the years. Some watches show only Mickey's head, while others show his entire body, with his arms serving as the hour and minute hands.
