Spiro Agnew was Richard Nixon’s running mate in 1968 and 1972. Hale E. Dougherty designed the original Spiro Agnew wristwatch in response to a common joke on college campuses in the early 1970s: “Did you know that Mickey Mouse wore a Spiro Agnew watch?” First manufactured by the Dirty Time Company, the popularity of the watch led to production of a number of knockoffs. Vice President Agnew initially liked the watch but, as it became known more as a joke than as a sign of support, he sued to prevent its sale. The case was settled out of court. This is an all original example, complete with original patriotic nato strap. Watch was serviced 1/12/26. Runs well and keeps good time.
