Did they happen to make any in the shape of a cat?
LOL... That is a nice watch indeed... Never saw anything like that. ;)

I have a dog clock with rotating eyes that is very similar to the one above. Mine looks more like a Scotty. All I know is that it was picked up in Germany in the 1950's. Same maker. Any idea on the value?
Its sooooo cute!
