These Gene Autry Animated Six-Shooter Watches are highly prized and collected today. Gene Autry (1907-1998) lived almost 91 years and left an amazing legacy. He was “America’s Favorite Cowboy.” He had a long successful career. He wax an American Hero, a Patriot, A Veteran, a Radio and Movie Star, A Singer, Composer and a Hugh Baseball Fan.
This watch is mesmerizing to look at as the gun moves up and down (shoots) while it ticks away. The watch brings back a nostalgic feeling of the past. America in the 1950’s. A time when cowboys were heroes to millions of youth. A simpler time in America right after WWII. This kind of watch is pure Americana, when a singing cowboy could bring a smile and be a hero to many.
