Genta created his first Mickey Mouse watch in 1969 and since then the quirky timepieces have become catnip for collectors. He was the first watchmaker to enter into a partnership with Disney and created watches not only with its famous mouse but also with Donald Duck. Last year’s version, limited to 150 at €16,500 or approximately $20,000 each and also released in November, sold out instantly before their scheduled delivery date in January 2022.
This time around, Mickey is featured centered on the dial and kicking a soccer ball around—a not-so-subtle angling for sports fans hyped about the upcoming FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Mickey’s hand indicated the minutes while a small circular aperture reveals the jumping hour indication just beneath his foot. The retrograde date display is featured at 6 o’clock.
Despite its playful appearance, it’s all serious horology underneath the hood and that extends to the dial. Housed within the 41 mm steel case is a mother-of-pearl dial where 14 plates were used to create the color pattern of the design. Some of the areas were coated with transparent lacquer in order to add brilliance and volume.
If you want to play ball with Mickey, you better act fast. As he would say, “All it takes is a little bit of magic.”
