From the 'Pie Eye' to The Aviator

Here are a few MM watches post Ingersoll - US Time - Timex era that for some reason I've found interesting :

A nice quartz "beater", 100 mt w.r., rotating bezel, day/date function, by Lorus ('90s) (100% Seiko technology)

And, interesting enough, maybe the most famous and talentuous watchmaker and designer of our era, Gerald Genta, produced several Mickey Mouse wristwatches in the '80s.
Today GG brand is not connected anymore with the famouse designer, belonging to Bulgari group, anyway they're still producing expansive Mickey watches.
At Basel '07 a nice aviator was presented
