Here's a nice reference photo of the SUPER-RARE 1957 Batman & Robin Pocket Watch made by Ingersoll. I love the vintage graphics & it's really unusual to find ANY Batman merchandise pre-1966. Most Batman collectibles start from 1966 & it's really hard to find anything from the 1940's & 50's. Ingersoll was a classic watch company known for making great character watches. In fact, they almost went out of business during the depression except they had a great idea to make the very 1st Mickey Mouse Watch, the 1st character watch! The sales of that item went thru the roof & saved the company! This one featuring Batman & Robin is extremely RARE & sought out by both Batman Fans & Character Watch Collectors as a holy grail. They usually bring about $500+ in auction, loose. Be sure to check previous posts in the BAT-BLOG ARCHIVES for many more Rare & Unusual Vintage Batman Items & Toys like Ideal, Mego, Kenner, Transogram, Marx, Corgi, etc...
