Unique and Nostalgic: A Collection Honoring Rich History and a Love for Creativity

The first limited collaboration, "Disney | Fossil," features a collection of leather goods and jewelry, including three watch models inspired by Disney's iconic Mickey Mouse.
The "Classic Disney Mickey Mouse Watch Special Edition" recreates the Fossil Disney Mickey Mouse watch released in 1992, beloved by many fans. It's a lively timepiece where the hour and minute hands, representing Mickey's arms, extend from his printed image.
The "Sketch Disney Mickey Mouse Watch Limited Edition" pays homage to the foresight that opened the door to the world of animation and imagination, using Walt Disney's original Mickey Mouse illustration as a design element. The dial, textured like a sketchbook, reproduces handwritten notes about the Mickey Mouse artwork from Walt Disney Animation Studios. This piece is limited to just 1,723 units worldwide, commemorating 1923, the year of Disney's founding.
The "Shadow Disney Mickey Mouse Watch" offers a modern take on the iconic Mickey Mouse silhouette. The three-dimensional Mickey Mouse silhouette on the gray dial is particularly striking. This model is limited to 1,523 units worldwide.
All three of these models are crafted based on Fossil's classic heritage watch designs, featuring a 43mm three-piece case, a Japanese automatic movement, and a double-domed sapphire crystal known for its clarity and scratch resistance. The case back is adorned with the Disney logo and a Mickey Mouse illustration, while the crown features Mickey Mouse's iconic silhouette. Each watch comes with a unique special edition box.
Regarding these watch collections, Ryan White, Creative Director of the Watch division, commented, "Personally, I'm particularly fond of the Sketch Watch. It's the first time Mickey Mouse has been depicted from the perspective of an illustrator or a 2D artist, and we wanted to faithfully recreate the hand-drawn character designs. This is a nostalgic piece that captures the original process of 2D illustration, where artists would use multiple sheets of animation paper to create each scene and bring characters to life. For historians who appreciate Walt's innovation and 2D animation techniques, this is a watch for true collectors."
Furthermore, this collection includes limited edition leather goods and jewelry that Disney fans will covet, offering a new sense of nostalgia.
The "Passport Case & Luggage Tag Travel Set" is exquisitely finished in premium leather, subtly featuring a three-dimensional Mickey Mouse silhouette with a monochrome gloss.
The jewelry collection expresses the playfulness and sophisticated style of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse. It includes the "Mickey 3D Pendant Necklace," the "Mickey Dog Tag Necklace," and the "ID Plaque Bracelet," all featuring hand-set crystal accents. These items primarily use black, evoking a street fashion aesthetic. Minnie Mouse designs are presented in a vibrant yellow-gold tone. The collection features the "Minnie Dog Tag Necklace" with crystal polka dots on Minnie's tutu, the "Minnie Bow Bangle Bracelet" with crystal embellishments on a bow motif, and the "Minnie Bow Dome Ring." Each piece of jewelry comes in a special edition tin can featuring custom graphics of Mickey or Minnie.
Melissa Lowenkron, Fossil's Chief Brand Officer, shared her thoughts on the collection: "Disney and Fossil are kindred spirits with shared core values of ingenuity and a rich, design-led history. Disney holds a special place in many people's memories and in Fossil's archives. We are thrilled to launch the first of what we hope will be a long-standing collaboration. We look forward to introducing more products in the coming months and hope you enjoy collecting these unique and nostalgic pieces."
