Snow White Watch (70th Anniversary - 2007)

Another limited edition item available for purchase at the DCA 70th Anniversary event was a Snow White watch. The original edition size was listed on the website as totaling 70. However, it appears that it may have ended up being limited to just 25 time pieces. Retail price $250.

Evil Queen/Snow White Watches (60th Anniversary - 1997)

Encircled in decorative metal, the face of this Evil Queen wristwatch is clean and uncluttered. Available only to cast members at Disneyland, the timepiece came in a very limited edition of just 200.



The front reads, "The Queen 1937-1997 60th Anniversary" (similar to the cast member pin). The gold hour and minute hands are chaperoned by a poison apple that circles the dial every 60 seconds.



Purple leather wristband.



Backside reads "© DISNEY JAPAN MOVT" and lists the edition number.



Watch was sold in a wooden box with a sliding illustrated top.

As you might expect, most Snow White watches tend to be designed for little girls with lots of bright colors. But this anniversary piece feels a little different. A limited edition of just 3000, the face features the princess in a classic pose with red "jewels" from the nine to four o'clock positions. The text reads, "Snow White 60th Anniversary."



Inscribed along the rear outer edge is, "Made Exclusively For Walt Disney Theme Parks And Resorts." In the center back it reads, "Limited Edition commemorating 60 years of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 1937." Then the edition number is listed.



Manufactured by Fossil, the watch was sold at the parks in 1997. It came with a black stand that reads "Limited Edition" and a silver apple that sits on top. Inscribed on its front is "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 1937".




Also included was a Certificate Of Verification.



A smart-looking Snow White watch.

Adriana Caselotti Snow White Clock

This Snow White clock comes from Brian Sibley who received it as a gift from Adriana Caselotti back in 1988, the year following the release of his Making of the Classic Film book. The clock is inscribed to Brian, and during a recent correspondence, he shared this anecdote about Adriana and her generous spirit...
As you know from the photo I sent you (and the fact that I own a clock) all friends (and a lot of acquaintances) were given such things. She kept a stock of clocks which were dismantled and signed on the face and put back together during your visit! And she SOLD sets of photos via her own primitive mail order service. She may have made a few dollars from fans who just wrote to her but I never had to buy any, and to best of my knowledge, anyone she got to know more than casually were given the 'full set' all signed. Certainly over the years she sent or gave me many versions as well as signing them for friends of mine, and on one occasion, my Mum! :)


Inscription reads...
To Brian Sibley, You are magnificent! I wish you a continued beautiful and successful life. Love, Adriana Caselotti, Voice of Snow White, 1988.
