Watch trivia

Which watch was featured long ago in ads proclaiming "it takes a licking and keeps on ticking" Extra point if you can post a picture of the ad.

And, of course, one of the ads themselves.. How about the first ad?? Bonus points for classic black and white video?? And yes, there is a caution flag on the track so I have a few seconds to dig this up :)

I actually remember their TV ads. They would put the watch on an outboard motor prop. The motor was attached to a clear glass (acrylic?) tank. They would put the prop in the water, start the motor and let it run, take the watch off and put it next to a mic. "Hear it Ticking" :eek:
