Winnie-the-Pooh is a fictional teddy bear created by English author A.A. Milne. In 1961, Walt Disney Productions secured the licensing rights which lead to the creation of the first watches being sold at Sears department stores.

Sears produced several different versions of their children's small size Pooh watches. Each came with a plastic figure. Eeyore, Piglet and Tigger were also produced and rare finds today.  Here are some of the earliest from the 1960 and 1970's:
