New Haunted Mansion 13-Hour Watch Inspired by Grandfather Clock Available at Magic Kingdom

Haunts looking to secure a new timepiece in Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World are about to be happy, as a new Haunted Mansion wristwatch has materialized at the park. The watch blends much of the iconic imagery associated with the attraction and is available at Uptown Jewelers, which is located near the Magic Kingdom entrance toward the front of Main Street U.S.A.

The 13-hour grandfather clock from the attraction serves as this watch’s centerpiece. The clock appears roughly midway through the ride, with its striking colors and backward-moving hands serving as one final scare before Madame Leota delivers her incantation (don’t worry, the hands on this watch do, in fact, move properly).

The watch piece features 12-hour indicators in addition to the “13” printed at its top. It’s the same bright shade of green as the clockface in the attraction and is surrounded by the same demonic creature-like detailing. The clock’s demon tail-like pendulum is printed on the black leather strap beneath the centerpiece.

The grandfather clock has become an icon frequently associated with the Haunted Mansion and has appeared on a myriad of merchandise in the past, most recently on a bowling shirt that debuted at Walt Disney World in July.

More ride iconography is printed above the face. The floating candelabra from the Endless Hallway scene floats beneath a bell, which is itself perhaps a reference to the final line of Madame Leota’s incantation (“Wizards and witches, wherever you dwell, give us a hint by ringing a bell”). A harp also appears, a reference to the instrument one of the members of the Phantom Five plays in the graveyard scene. All of the icons are a bright shade of blue with pink accents.

White stitching appears along the edges of the strap’s facade. The back of the strap is a natural leather color, with a “Genuine Leather” label indicating the material. The back of the centerpiece is stainless steel.

The Haunted Mansion

The Haunted Mansion has become one of Disney’s most iconic attractions since its debut at Disneyland in 1969 and on opening day at Walt Disney World in 1971. A near-clone of the Magic Kingdom attraction opened at Tokyo Disneyland in 1983, and the ride has even served as the inspiration for a number of Disney attractions across the globe (Phantom Manor at Disneyland Paris and Mystic Manor at Hong Kong Disneyland).

The atmospheric ride strikes a delicate blend between funny and frightening that has charmed generations. The Disneyland version of the attraction received a major addition in 2015 when the Hatbox Ghost, an original effect removed from the ride due to technical difficulties, was re-added. The Hatbox Ghost is due to debut at the Magic Kingdom version of the Haunted Mansion in late November.

Walt Disney Studios recently released a Haunted Mansion-inspired movie, with “Haunted Mansion” hitting theaters on July 28, 2023. The movie fared relatively well with audiences but underwhelmed at the box office, failing to recoup its reported $150 million budget. The film will debut on the Disney+ streaming service on October 4.

Will the new Haunted Mansion watch be around your wrist the next time you ride the attraction? Let us know in the comments.
