Minnie Mouse Watch Appraisal

Disney Minnie Mouse Quartz Wristwatch

This is a vintage or retro-style Disney-branded quartz wristwatch featuring Minnie Mouse. The watch has a small, round, silver-tone metal case, likely made of a base metal alloy, showing some signs of wear, particularly light scratches and scuffs consistent with regular use. The crown is visible on the right side of the case. The watch face is white with black Arabic numerals marking the hours from 1 to 12. A prominent graphic of Minnie Mouse is centrally located, with her arms acting as the hour and minute hands, a classic design for Disney character watches. Minnie is depicted in her iconic red polka-dot dress and yellow shoes. The 'Disney' logo is printed below the '9' mark, and 'QUARTZ' is printed beneath the 'Disney' logo, indicating its movement type. The watch has a vibrant red strap, appearing to be made of faux leather or a similar synthetic material, which is well-preserved with no apparent cracking or significant discoloration. The overall condition suggests it has been worn but maintained. The craftsmanship is typical for a novelty or character watch, focusing on the visual appeal of the character rather than high-end horology. It likely dates from the late 20th century, possibly 1990s or early 2000s, given the style and 'QUARTZ' designation.
