I also have one of these Hamilton Mickey watches, as does my sister. My Grandmother worked at Hamilton. I got it in the early 70′s. The story I heard was that Disney ordered a bunch of these watches from Hamilton, they were produced and for some reason the deal fell though. So Hamilton offered these watches to their employees to purchase. These watches were never available to the public. I wore my watch as a young child. It was water proof, so I wore it while I swam all the time. My mother took it in for repairs, the person did not seal it properly and it leaked. It now sits in my jewelry box rusted. So every once in a while I search the web for a replacement. It has “Disneyland” above his ear in the 12 o’clock position and “17 jewels” at the 6 o’clock position. The crystal is about 1 1/8″ in diameter. I no longer have the strap.

Hi, I have a mickey mouse watch that I cannot seem to find any information on the internet at all about. It is a vintage Bradley Swiss made disco mickey watch. The number on the back of the watch is 015. The back also says “base metal swiss made”. The background of the watch is black with mickey wearing a white disco outfit and his hands move to tell the time. At the top front of the watch it says Bradley. Next to Mickey it says Disco Mickey and at the bottom it says “Swiss made” and under that it says Walt Disney Production. Any info on this watch would be great!

Hi, I have a vintage mickey mouse watch made by ingersoll?. The minute and second hands are “mickey’s” hands. Its wind up and runs good and even keeps good timing. The band is one of those metal type elastic ones. Its in VERY good condition, nothing broken. The inside of the band is marked USA on each piece of the band all around. I was wondering what this might be worth. And how can I find a date of when it was made? Thanks!

Hello, You have a rather scarce Mickey! I have only seen a few of these Swiss Hamilton Mickies. Most Mickies are low quality pin lever watches made by Bradley and Ingersoll in large quantities. You have a high quality 17 jewel Hamilton with limited production. Unfortunately the comic character watch market is in a downturn. Making it difficult to place a value on your watch, but I would think that $100-$300 would be possible. Shame you don’t have the box, sometimes the box is worth more than the watch!

I was given a 17 jewel mickey mouse watch made at hamilton watch in Lancaster PA when my Uncle worked there as a present. it has a black nylon fabric type band and I have kept it in stored away-unfortunately the box is long gone. I am having a hard time finding what it value might be-any help would be appreciated-just wondered if it was valuable to a collector or not?

[...] Vintage Watches: Art Meets Technology A Coca-Cola vending machine on the fritz, a misfiring auto engine and an 18th-century pocket watch in need of restoration may share one thing in common. [...]
