Lovers House - Merry's Arms

I'm wearing another of the fun watches from the Super Lovers range, and this one has the style of some early Disney watches.

The watch is part of a range called Lovers House which is quoted as being distributed by Super Lovers. The Super Lovers this refers to is the Harajuku Super Lovers clothing brand from Tokyo.

For the Lovers House watches, there are two panda mascots (Ken and Merry) which often appear in the design. Today's watch features only Merry in the centre of the dial with the numbers around the dial in red circles. The hours and minutes hands fit in the design and are Merry's arms which rotate. She is also wearing white gloves like Mickey Mouse does in the old mechanical Disney watches. There is also a red seconds hand making this a 3 hand dial design. There are no other makers marks on the watch, but inside is a Miyota movement (which is one of a range of different manufacturers that the Super Lovers watches have used). The watches started in the 90s, but I don't know when this particular model was out.

Lovers House Panda Angel by Super Lovers

I find the watches by Super Lovers quite interesting. They seem to have made so many different watches over they years in all manner of designs, and you don't often see more than one of each type. They also have different modules from many different manufacturers, suggesting that they are not a collaboration line, but may be custom ordered.

This model is from the Lovers House range that was distributed by Super Lovers. The Lovers House watches tend to be the cuter models and feature the Panda mascots Ken and Merry. This watch also features a Panda, but in the guise of an angel surrounded by small yellow birds. Next to the picture is a signature with the name Molly, who i assume is the artist who did the sketch (but it could be the name of the Panda). Around the glass there is also text with the Lovers House name repeated, and the red leather strap has LH and Lovers House moulded into it.

The watch part is a standard 3 hand dial, but the case is quite thick. This is because of the extra feature revealed by the fake crown behind the real one. When this is pulled out, the front opens to reveal a mirror. On the mirror is has the text 'Lovers House. Distribute (sic) by Super Lovers'. On this model, there are no makers mark, and I haven't checked who made the module.
