A Donald Duck musical pocketwatch can not only be a great gift for that Disney lover in your life, it can be a valuable addition to any pocketwatch collection. Pocketwatches have been around since as early as 1462, when a clockmaker named Bartholomew Medina offered what he called a pocket clock to the Marchese di Manta. He claimed that this pocketwatch surpassed even the one carried by the Duke of Modena. After that, pocketwatches came into Vogue around 1510 when a master clockmaker named Peter Henlein began making and distributing them throughout Europe.

Pocket watches have been used by even the railroad industry, most notably in the 1800 and 1900's. After a train accident in 1891 that was caused by the stopping of the engineer's watch, the railroad association created stringent qualifications that pocket watches had to meet before being used by engineers.

After World War I, wrist watches became the timepiece of choice for most people, but pocketwatches still remained prized heirlooms, collectibles, and timepieces for people who find wristwatches uncomfortable. A pocket watch can be engraved with initials, a name, or a message, making these timepieces wonderful heirlooms and gifts. Imagine the look on your loved one's face when you present them with a rare Donald Duck musical pocketwatch! These watches are rare and sure to increase in value as time goes by.
