Ingersoll Watches – The Brand Behind the $1 Watch
The History of Ingersoll Watches
Ingersoll is one of the oldest American watch manufacturers in the world and was founded in 1892 in America by brothers Robert and Charles Ingersoll. Ingersoll is famous for creating a superb range of pocket watches and wrist watches and were even responsible for creating the smallest pocket watch ever to be produced.
What is clearly a distinctive about Ingersoll watches are that they have always maintained the primary value that watches should be of a high quality but still be affordable and accessible to everyone. Therefore Ingersoll watches are made using high quality materials and technologies but at budget friendly prices.
The One Dollar Ingersoll Watch
When people believe that something is too good to be true, it often is, but Ingersoll watches are proof that you can combine great quality at an affordable price. When the brand began in 1892, the Ingersoll brothers produced and manufactured the famous 1 dollar watch which, as the name suggests, cost only 1 dollar. The watch despite its cheap price tag was noted for its superb function and of course, was incredibly popular.
So what gave Ingersoll the ability to produce great watches and sell them so cheap? The secret behind keeping production costs to an absolute minimum was that was that instead of a jewel being used as a bearing, a hole was drilled directly into the pocket watch plate and a pin attached to the gear sat inside the hole. This method worked in exactly the same way and was just as reliable but from a cost perspective, it made the watches affordable for the everyday working person.
The Mickey Mouse Watch
The Ingersoll brand is also famous for creating the Mickey Mouse in 1933 watch in collaboration with Walt Disney which retailed at its lowest for $2.95. This watch is now a sought after collector’s item.
Ingerso
ll Watches Today
Today, though a little more expensive in relative terms, Ingersoll watches still represent incredible high quality with affordability and use fine materials and technologies in production. There are a wide array of Ingersoll watch collections to choose from with the ladies watches incorporating elegant features such as diamante embellished bezels and feminine styling. The aesthetic and the type of movements vary according to each collection but one striking feature is that most Ingersoll watches have visible windows on the dial through which you can see the intricate movements of the interior functions.
Ingersoll watches from a style perspective are sleek, traditional and smart with bold dials, chic colour tones, and textured leather straps or stainless steel bracelet straps (for a more contemporary look) and also incorporate modern functions such as dual time displays, sub second dials, date windows and chronograph. If you are seeking a watch which ticks all the right boxes in style, function and affordability, Ingersoll watches are the perfect option and their highly regarded reputation throughout the decades is testament to the fact that these really are watches that offer something completely unique and special.
