Limited Edition Kit-Cats

Limited Edition Clocks are only manufactured for a single year at the Kit-Cat factory.  Once we sell out of our stocks, they can only be found hidden in small mom and pop shops across the country or being traded online.  Your Kit-Cat may be worth more than when you bought it!

All Battery Kit-Cats were made after 1990 while all Electric Kit-Cats were made before 1990.  In the late 1980s our electric motor manufacturers moved over to Asia, forcing us to retire the electric Kit-Cat Clocks.
