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
KERMIT COLLECTION
TM & © Jim Henson Co.
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.

If you need a reminder we’re in the darkest timeline look no further than the outline of the adaption of into the woods we could have had back in the 90s

This version also would have had all the creatures in the movie played by puppets made by the Jim Henson company.

Muppet Fact #745
Tim Curry starred in the unaired pilot for Madness Reigns, a 1998 sitcom produced by the Jim Henson Company. The show followed Curry as King Nicholas Serge Rudolph George Leopold Ludwig Von Ebelskiver of Lichtenbourg-Hvoristan who was exiled from his country and now living in New York City with his family, many of whom were puppets. The show was never greenlit.

I've had this mental image for awhile ever since knowing which company is going to provide the anamatronics for the Five Nights at Freddy's film.
I don't know how well a lot of puppetry companies are doing, but the fact that this movie will use anamatronics over CGI is hopefully going to have some sort of impact. (After all, this is a movie that has been highly anticipated for several years). If not, then here's a picture of Freddy and Kermit just hanging out.
