Ingersoll

Ingersoll is one of the oldest American watchmakers, founded in 1892 by brothers Robert and Charles Ingersoll. The company revolutionized the industry with the 'Dollar Watch' in 1896, making timepieces affordable to the masses. Famous for innovations like the Radiolite glow-in-the-dark watch and the first Mickey Mouse watch in 1933. Gandhi praised his Ingersoll pocket watch as one of his most valued possessions. After bankruptcy and revival, the brand continues today under Zeon Ltd ownership, honoring its pioneering heritage with modern timepieces.
