Either way, you’re going to smile once again. It’s the sort of enjoyment that stays with you for a lifetime, making it easy to sit down and watch any of their old films for the hundredth time, just like strapping on a beloved watch that hasn’t been worn in a while. Kermit and the rest of The Muppets have accrued a diehard fanbase over the years that spans generations and continents. Not unlike wearing mechanical watches in the 21st century, The Muppets are very much an “if you like it, you love it” phenomenon ( □ doo doo do do do). If you have no idea what The Muppets are or what I’m talking about, you may want to sit this one out. It doesn’t get any less weird from there. If having a puppet frog as the protagonist in just about every Muppet movie to date seems strange to you, Kermit’s love interest is a pig. For those who don’t know, he’s a green (Kermit Green, if you will) frog with spindly arms and legs that delivers a surprisingly candid performance given his face is little more than a glorified hand in a sock. Kermit the Frog is undoubtedly the lead star of The Muppets cast. One of my favorite watch companies partnering with a beloved childhood character? Mind: blown. When I first saw the press materials for the ProPilot X Kermit Edition, I was floored. It’s no secret that I generally love everything Oris does. Move over, Mickey Mouse the ProPilot X Kermit Edition is taking the spotlight. Oris, the Swiss watch company committed to making people smile, has partnered with the puppet franchise dedicated to the same for an unprecedented watch release. Children who grew into adults watching and rewatching Muppet movies now have buying power. It may have been their chaotic antics and humor that relegated them to children’s quartz watches through the ’80s and ’90s, but the love for The Muppets is serious. Why are there so many watches without Muppets? In short, The Muppets - the brainchild of Jim Henson - is a group of ridiculous, hilarious, often strange, and inherently lovable puppets that have graced television and movies for over 50 years.
