Mickey Mouse has been everywhere since he made his first appearance in 1928. From cartoon series to adorning clothes, the Mouse pops up in the most unusual places.
Even on the face and hands of watches. It all began when two struggling companies in 1932—Disney Company and Waterbury Clock Company—came together to do business in the height of the great depression.
On May 22, 1933, the watch company submitted a patent for the watches. The first Mickey Mouse watches sold for $3.25 in Chicago. Many of the watches have survived to now, and new ones are made. Here is a list of 15 most expensive Mickey Mouse watches.
