INVICTA THE MUPPETS A LINEUP OF CHARACTER Created by visionary Jim Henson, the Muppets first took the stage in 1955 and have been claiming hearts and capturing imaginations ever since. Derived from the words: ‘marionette’ and ‘puppet,’ the term “Muppet” was born and the art of puppetry, children’s television as well as the world of entertainment was forever changed. The Muppet characters are brought to life through the voices and manipulation of skilled puppeteers. The Muppets come in a range of sizes and are either a hand puppet, a rod puppet or a combination of the two. Upon occasion they are full-bodied with the puppeteer making use of invisible string and adding the voice later. They are largely constructed out of foam and then covered with some type of felt and/or fur. Often the creation of one character can take up to a year as the puppeteer mindfully develops the voice, vocal intonation and physicality of the character. In their six decades, the Muppets have enjoyed success in all aspects of entertainment. From music recordings to the critically acclaimed and award winning, The Muppet Show, to a franchise of major motion pictures and everything in-between, the Muppets have become a show-business mainstay, continually entertaining children and adults alike. Characters from this beloved and vibrant cast have taken their place in a new limited-edition watch collection. In December of 2017, Kermit the Frog and Miss. Piggy flew to Miami for the exclusive debut of the Muppets Collection. For the launch, the beloved Kermit and adored diva, Miss.
