+ THE STORY

Japan in the 1980s made novelty clocks the way they made everything else — with more care than the category required. This Rhythm alarm clock features a black-and-white cat and a bugle-style alarm, the kind of morning announcement that is impossible to sleep through and difficult to be angry about. The Rhythm name meant something in Japanese clockmaking — reliable movements, quality construction — and this piece carries that reputation in a form that cat lovers and vintage clock collectors will recognize immediately.

+ WHY WE CHOSE IT

Because Rhythm Made in Japan is a name that collectors know and trust. Because a bugle alarm cat clock from the 1980s is a specific and delightful thing to find in working condition. Because some objects belong on a bedside table that deserves a personality.
