What’s Happening:
- Citizen is bringing even more Disney magic to their iconic timepieces and as part of their Disney100 series and this summer they’re focusing on the splashy musical The Little Mermaid.
- On the heels of the live action remake of Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Citizen will be introducing all-new Ariel and Ursula Box Sets to take you under the sea next month, in celebration of Disney’s 100th Anniversary marking the 1990s!
- The Little Mermaid, released in November 1989, soared to popularity in the 90s and was the first Disney animated feature film based on a classic fairy tale in three decades, following Cinderella.
- The Ursula watch dial features her silhouette and a conch shell with crystal “sound bubbles” floating upwards, while the Ariel watch was inspired by underwater shades of green with a dial that shows an illustration of the mermaid diving. Both come with collectible companion pins.
- Each set will be available soon directly through Citizen and sells for $450. Check back soon for links to the individual timepieces.
