Animated Wall Clocks at Retroplanet.com
Who doesn’t remember the iconic Kit-Cat clock from their childhood? I remember when I was real young, every August we went on our annual shopping trip to buy school shoes. We went to a family-owned store in our downtown that sold children’s clothing and shoes. While we were there, I loved to see the black-and-white Kit-Cat clock hanging on the wall. I loved to watch the tail swing back and forth, keeping time with its oversized eyes. It’s wonderful that the same company that made them then is still making them today for us to enjoy again or to introduce to our children.
The first Kit-Cat Klock was created in 1932 by the California Clock Company. It was introduced during the Great Depression, in the hope of cheering people up and adding a little “mystery and excitement” to their lives. California Clock has been making these little cuties for 75 years now. The clocks have changed through the years, and been available in many different colors, but certainly an item as fun as these will never go out of style.
Have you seen the great selection of retro animated clocks we have here at Retroplanet.com? We offer the classic 1950’s black-and-white Kit-Cat Klock and below we have a video that shows the swaying motion of the Kit-Cat’s eyes and tail. We also carry the companion Pooch Clock in yellow or black. He’s modeled after the classic 1950’s style Cocker Spaniel clock for the many dog lovers out there.

In addition to the Kit-Cat and Pooch clocks, we have the stylish Simone clocks. They are a battery-operated remake of the original 1950’s clock. We offer Simone clocks in white, pink and black. As the tail wags from side to side the cat’s green eyes open and close. The motion and sleek lines are too cool and would fit into so many differently styled interiors!And if you’re in the mood for a clock with a little sass, we have the new Felix the Cat animated wall clock. Felix the Cat was first introduced as a cartoon character in silent films in the early 20th century. This timeless character is still loved by many today. He can’t help but make you smile as his tail sways and his eyes move from side to side.Maybe you’d like to check out this collection of fun clocks and add some animation to your life!
I recently purchased my second Kit Kat Clock. The first one ran very quietly but this new one makes so much noise that we have to stop the tail and eyes from moving. Does anyone have any sugestions as to a solution to the problem?
