Here is a Commemorative Series, and Registered Edition, of the Walt Disney Production's Mickey Mouse Bicentennial Pocket Watch. It is still in its original plastic box with its Warranty and Registration Card from 1976 still intact. This pocket watch is a 16 size and has a carrying chain as well. Mickey Mouse is featured on the dial dressed in Patriotic clothes (and, of course, his hands are the minute and hour indicators.)  It is made in the U.S.A. and is in absolutely mint condition and it keeps very accurate time.

Doxa - HUGE Swiss Open Face Pocket Watch with a Very Ornate (Repousse') Case (circa 1905).

This is a HUGE open face pocket watch that measures 2 3/4" across and 3 7/8" from the top of the bow to the bottom!  It is a Swiss made Doxa that dates from around 1905. The dust cover is marked Medaille D'or Milan 1906, Doxa, Hors Concours, Liege 1905. The inside of the back cover is marked Metal Argentan, Doxa, Depose and includes 5 different silver coin symbols. The jeweled mechanical wind movement is marked Doxa.  The entire case is ornately engraved (Repousse') and is highlighted by a scene of people riding horses (looks to me like a fox hunt?) on the back cover. The dial is white porcelain with Roman numeral hour markers and is marked Anti Magnetique and Doxa and includes a large seconds sub-dial at the 6 o'clock position.  The time is set by pushing in a button (located to the right of the pendant) and then turning the crown.

Talk about classic watches...here is one that fits the bill.  This is a circa 1884 Elgin National Watch Company Solid 14K Gold big 18 size Hunters Case Pocket Watch with a fine H. H. Taylor 15 jewel lever set adjusted movement.  It has recently been oiled, cleaned, time adjusted and had a new mainspring installed.  Needless to say, it is running fine and keeping time.  The case is in superb condition considering it is solid 14K gold (the case itself is worth approximately $500.00 just for its gold content and vintage style -- and it is a good thing it has lasted all these years without getting melted down like many have.)  The case is approximately 2" in diameter and is quadruple marked with the number T3632 (on both the front and back cover, the dust cover and the side of the central case.)  The 14K mark is found on the dust cover and the back cover which also has the AW CO symbol.  The big onion crown is located at the 3 o'clock position.  The dial is in great condition with a white background color highlighted with black applied Roman Numeral hour markers and signed Elgin Nat'l Watch Co., it has a large sunken seconds sub-dial with a detailed outer track.  The hands are gun metal colored and have a very sleek antique style design.  This antique piece has a H. H. Taylor movement that features a 15 jewel adjusted mechanical wind movement and is a lever set.  The movement is marked Elgin Ill., Adjusted, H. H. Taylor, Safety Pinion and the serial number 1781976 (which dates the production of this piece to 1884.)  The dust cover has a beautifully engraved dedication from 1886.  The central portion of the triple hinged case has a coin cut edge which makes it easy to handle.  This piece is nice enough to join any collection, be carried as an everyday timepiece, or purchased for an investment.
