In 1933, the Ingersoll-Waterbury Company produced a round Mickey
Mouse wristwatch that is considered to be the first comic character
watch. It started a movement that has continued for ninety years
and shows little sign of letting up. This new and delightful book
covers the history of character timepieces from the earliest clocks
to the present day quartz wristwatches. With hundreds of beautiful
color photographs it is a celebration of American imagination and
artistry. Nearly every character watch from 1933 to 1972 is
included, with some that have never before been reproduced in
print. From 1972 to the present a wide selection of some of the
best and most desirable of the 5000+ watches produced will jump off
the page at you. Also covered are packaging, advertisements, and
some of the ephemera developed with the watches. Organized
chronologically, the book is divided into nine chapters. While
principally concerned with wristwatches, each chapter also deals
with pocket watches and clocks. The examples in the chapter are
arranged alphabetically for each reference. At the end of each
chapter is a section of lists to help the collector start his
collection. A value guide is included. This book is written to
enlighten, illuminate, and induce others to enjoy the comic watch
hobby. A fun but important book for serious collectors, watch
dealers, and students of Americana.
