MICKEY MOUSE IS TURNING 95 YEARS OLD this month, and to celebrate its anniversary, Disney has partnered with luxury watchmaker Philip Stein to put the iconic mouse on its watch face, sporting a Barong Tagalog.
Emerging from the fertile imagination of Walt Disney in 1928, this iconic character debuted in the cartoon short Steamboat Willie, instantly capturing the hearts of audiences. Mickey, the anthropomorphic mouse with a flair for mischief and a heart of gold, quickly became the face of Disney, propelling the studio from a humble beginning into a cultural behemoth.
The '30s saw Mickey's meteoric rise, becoming a pop culture sensation during the Great Depression, bringing a dose of joy to a world in need of smiles. Over the decades, Mickey's evolution mirrored the growth of Disney itself, transcending generations and making an indelible mark in various forms of media. Today, as Mickey celebrates his 95th birthday, his cultural legacy endures, reminding us all of the magic of imagination.
To mark this monumental centenary, luxury watch brand Philip Stein has teamed up with Disney to create a line of limited-edition watches, exclusively for Filipinos.
Mickey Mouse Watch by Philip Stein
The barong-sporting Mickey is set on a 38mm-diameter round case and bracelet crafted from stainless steel. The watch face features a dazzling mother-of-pearl dial, encased in scratch-resistant sapphire glass.
Only 500 pieces were made.
These limited-edition beauties are just that—limited. Philip Stein has crafted only 500 pieces of each model, and trust us, they'll vanish off the shelves like magic.
But there's another magic incorporated into the watch: Philip Stein's Natural Frequency Technology. According to the watchmaker, this proprietary technology "resonates with the body, strengthening our bio-magnetic field to reduce stress, improve sleep, and boost energy in humans." In other words, it reduces stress.
The Mickey Mouse Watch by Philip Stein is available at Philip Stein boutiques nationwide until stocks last.
