Overview
A wonderfully nostalgic 1995 musical quartz wristwatch by Armitron featuring the iconic Looney Tunes character Foghorn Leghorn being chased by Henery Hawk and Barnyard Dawg. The watch features unique novelty hands shaped like a fork and knife, a gold-tone bezel, and a musical function activated by a side pusher.
Story
Released in 1995, this watch captures the classic, chaotic energy of Warner Bros. animation. The clever design turns the watch hands into a fork and knife, perfectly matching the culinary threat of the characters on the dial.
Maker / Origin
Founded in 1975 by Eugen Gluck, Armitron became a pioneer in affordable digital and quartz watches. In the 1990s, they secured highly successful licensing agreements with Warner Bros., producing a beloved series of character watches that are highly collectible today.
Condition & Value
The watch shows moderate wear and scratching on the gold-toned bezel and crystal, with some minor dirt buildup around the caseback. It includes the original Warner Bros. Watch Co. presentation case, which adds significant collector appeal. The working status of the movement and musical chip is unverified.
