The brand was born during an era when artisans hand-crafted timepieces and where craftsmanship and innovation were a given. Today’s consumers still embrace Ingersoll brand’s legacy that maintains a firm stand for quality, accuracy and affordable luxury.

Ingersoll is globally recognized for many ‘world firsts’ in reputable watchmaking. It brought us the first luminous watch in 1920; the Radiolite that ‘told the time in the dark.’ The first dollar watch launched in 1899 and in 1933 the world’s first Mickey Mouse watch contributed towards global success.

The company gained a worldwide reputation when Theodore Roosevelt was famously referred to as ‘the man from the country where Ingersoll watches are made’.

In celebration of Ingersoll’s 125 years, the brand launches four new collections that represent important milestones of the watch brand. 1892 is the birth year of Ingersoll, so the brand felt it must be the title of the its mainline collection. The 1892 collection is the heart of the brand, encapsulating the essence and spirit of the founding Ingersoll brothers and maintaining a firm stand for quality, accuracy and affordable luxury.

This first started in 1933 when Robert H. Ingersoll met with Walt Disney, bringing the truly global icon that is Mickey Mouse into the Ingersoll collection.
