If you're a hardcore collector, you may be looking for one of these highly valued timepieces. They are rare, but you can find them. The Internet is one excellent place to look.

A Donald Duck musical pocketwatch will not only make an ideal gift for any Disney lover, 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. Subsequently, pocketwatches came into Vogue around 1510 when a master clockmaker named Peter Henlein began making and distributing them throughout Europe.

** Pocket Watch Tip ** The American Expeditionary Forces around the world adopted this watch as their official timepiece. In World War I, a wristwatch version of the Broadway Limited was given to General Pershing and his men. These watches were worn by Admiral Byrd on his adventures to the Poles, and by the Picards on their ascent via balloon. The wristwatch version of the Broadway limited was also on the wrist of the first American to conquere Mt. Everest.

Pocket watches were commonly used in the railroad industry, especially during the 1800 and 1900's. After a train accident in 1891 that arose because the engineer's watch stopped, the railroad association created stringent qualifications that pocket watches had to meet before being used by engineers.

After World War I, wrist watches took over to become the choice timepiece 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.
