Fossil and Disney have come together in an extraordinary collaboration to mark Fossil’s 100th
anniversary. This partnership has given rise to a remarkable capsule collection featuring limited and
special-edition timepieces, leather goods, and jewelry. The collaboration serves as a celebration of
shared values, emphasizing creativity and design heritage, uniting Fossil’s commitment to drawing

distinctive collection that is both nostalgic and distinctive, appealing to collectors and those who
cherish Disney’s heritage.
Ryan White, Creative Director of Watches, explained the innovative approach to showcasing
Disney’s Mickey Mouse from the illustrator’s and original 2D artists’ perspective. The hand-sketched
character design, depicting Disney’s beloved character, offers a throwback to the original process of
2D illustration. It encapsulates the essence of artists using stacks of animation paper to create each
scene and make the characters come to life. This approach is distinctive and different from anything
previously attempted, making these watches an ideal choice for true collectors, particularly those
who appreciate Walt’s innovation and the art of 2D animation.
All the timepieces in this collaboration are based on Fossil’s classic Heritage watch platform. These
watches feature a 43mm three-piece case, ultra-precise Japanese automatic movement, and a
double-domed, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal for unrivaled clarity. Each style comes with a
custom-designed caseback featuring an original Disney Mickey Mouse illustration. The crown of the
watches is accented with the character’s iconic silhouette. These watches are presented in specially
designed boxes intended to serve as keepsakes and come with a certificate of authenticity.
