This is my mom's vintage Kermit the Frog watch from the 90s. I cannot for the life of me find a single scrap of information about it anywhere online. The only result that confirms this watch even exists is a long dead listing without a price on an auction house website (apparently you can pay a subscription fee to see the price, but I'm not doing that). This watch isn't listed on the Muppets wiki with the othet pieces of the Kermit Collection, and it doesn't have any manufacturer info on it, just the copyright for the Henson company.

My mom has kept this watch in storage for years, I haven't seen it since the early 2000s, and I misremembered what condition it was in. I knew something was loose inside, and I thought one of the hands had snapped off, but it was actually the border of the mirror Kermit is looking into. I thought it was damaged beyond repair, but that's a super easy fix. Pop the glass off, glue it back into place, pop the back off, put in a new battery, good as new!

I have no clue who made it or when. This is the entire text on the back:

STAINLESS STEEL BACK ↑ JAPAN ⚡377 WATER RESISTANT V-246 HENL6616

And the strap just says

©Henson

GENUINE LEATHER

HONG KONG

I assume HENL6616 stands for Henson model 6616, but according to google, bing, and duckduckgo, that code has never been written on the internet before. It's hard to see on the fifth photo, but it's definitely 6616, not 6676.

⚡377 is the battery, an AG4 377

I have no idea what V-236 means. I'll pop it open later tonight and see if there's anything written inside. Hopefully the battery compartment isn't corroded to hell. If not, I could have it up an running in a matter of hours.

Her birthday is in October, and I think this is the perfect gift. Fingers crossed it still works.

Happy 30th Anniversary to The Muppet Christmas Carol.

A truly beautiful film in every way. With timeless music by Paul Williams and the incredible work of the Muppet performers and Sir Michael Caine this is a film that perfectly continues the legacy of Jim Henson. ❤️🎄

I wonder what the spray glitter budget on Labyrinth was?

I believe in Rowlf the Dog supremacy

(he's a really fun laidback character with a really interesting history as he was Henson's signature puppet [not Kermit] but he lost fan interest as he was semi-retired until the Disney purchase after Henson died)

Granted his EXTREMELY passive personality makes it difficult to make him an active participant in a Muppets story so like I get it lol he feels like a relic of their more vaudeville days as him being their pianist gave him a massive sense of purpose then
