Ingersoll “Guinness Time” Framed Advertising Display (13 x 18 Inches)
This large framed display celebrates one of the most charming and recognisable pieces of Guinness advertising history — the 1959 Ingersoll “Guinness Time” pocket watch design, created during the golden era of mid‑century brand promotion. The artwork features the iconic smiling pint of Guinness and the beloved Guinness toucan, a character central to the brewery’s advertising identity from the 1930s through the 1960s.

The original 1959 Ingersoll pocket watch was produced with a specially engineered dial that allowed the toucan to move in rhythm with the second hand — a playful mechanical detail that made the watch a favourite among collectors. This framed piece reproduces that classic dial artwork in a large 13 x 18 inch format, offering far greater visual impact than the original pocket‑sized item.

The display is housed in a traditional frame with a rope‑back hanging system, giving it a warm, vintage presentation suitable for pubs, home bars, collectors’ rooms, and Irish heritage displays. The artwork retains the period‑correct typography, colour palette, and character design associated with Guinness’s mid‑century advertising campaigns.

For collectors of Guinness memorabilia, Ingersoll timepieces, or vintage advertising art, this piece represents a distinctive and visually striking homage to one of the brewery’s most charming promotional items. Its larger format makes it ideal for display and offers a strong decorative presence that smaller prints cannot match.
