Ingersoll Men's IN1800CR Richmond Automatic Watch Cream Dial, Brown Leather Strap The Ingersoll Watch Company grew out of a mail orderbusiness (R H Ingersoll & Bro) started in New York City in 1882 by 21 yearold Robert Hawley Ingersol and his brother Charles Henry. The company initially sold low-cost items such as rubber stamps. The first watches were introduced into the catalogue in 1892, supplied by the Waterbury Clock Company. In 1904 Ingersoll opened a store in London, England. In 1905 Robert sailed to England and Introduced the "Crown" pocket watch for 5 shillings, which was the same value as $1 at the time. These were made by a British subsidiary, Ingersoll Ltd, initially assembled from imported parts, and lately made entirely in their London factory. 'When in 1912 the luxury cruise ship 'TITANIC' had its tragic accident and many people lost their lives, one of the passengers, Oscar Scott Woody died and his pocket watch "Ingersoll-midgett" with engraving was found during a recent diving expedition.' 'In 1933 "WALT DISNEY" hired Ingersoll for the production of the first Mickey Mouse Wrist watch (Worldwide). For this purpose, Ingersoll also produced a special packaging with Mickey Mouse motives on it. Today this is a very sought after collector's item.' Product Description: Stainless steel case.
