Satin Pink Limited Edition Kit Cat Klock

The Kit-Cat Klock, a beloved icon of American culture, has a rich history that dates back to its invention in 1932 during the height of the Great Depression. Designed by Oregon-based designer Earl Arnault, this captivating timepiece with its signature wagging tail, rolling eyes, and contagious smile brought joy and levity to a nation in the throes of economic hardship.

In the decades that followed, the Kit-Cat Klock became synonymous with the 1950s in America, capturing the hearts and imaginations of the public. However, in the late 1980s, the American-made legacy of the Kit-Cat Klock was nearly lost, as the American electric motor manufacturing industry began to relocate to Asia, leaving the California Clock Company, the owner of the Kit-Cat brand, without a reliable US motor supplier.

Determined to keep the Kit-Cat Klock alive, the California Clock Company set out to develop a new battery technology that could power the exclusive "one-second" animation of the iconic timepiece. Through their perseverance, the Kit-Cat Klock continued to tick on through the 1990s, with the introduction of the first Limited Color Edition Kit-Cats and the 3/4 size Kitty Cat in 1996.

In 2001, the beloved Kit-Cat Klock took on a new twist with the introduction of Lady Kit-Cat, who swapped out the traditional bow tie for pearls and eyelashes, adding a touch of feminine flair to the iconic design. As the Kit-Cat Klock celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2007, the company organized "The Great All American Road Show," a 75-day celebration that traveled the entire length of Route 66, showcasing the world's largest Kit-Cat Klock, standing at 75 inches tall.

Today, after 85 years, the Kit-Cat Klock continues to be a timeless icon, with the original 40cm ears-to-tail size model still being manufactured and sold around the world. In fact, for the past 50 years, someone has purchased a Kit-Cat Klock every 3 minutes, demonstrating the enduring appeal of this classic American timepiece.

The Kit-Cat Klock, proudly made in America by the original manufacturer, runs on 2 C batteries (not included) and features the iconic rolling eyes, wagging tail, and contagious smile that have captivated generations of Americans. The Classic Black Kit-Cat Klock, a testament to the enduring legacy of this beloved icon, continues to inspire joy and nostalgia in all who encounter it.
