Exclusively imagined and crafted by the in-house creative artists at alternative giftware brand Nemesis Now, this decorative timepiece captures the quiet joy of morning coffee and the inquisitive nature of our favourite four-legged companions.

Whether your aesthetic leans into rustic cottagecore, witchy kitchen decor, vintage French café vibes, or gothic fantasy, this clock serves as an eye-catching focal point that combines character with dependable timekeeping.

A Mischievous Companion for Your Wall

Every cat owner knows the familiar sight of two alert ears and wide, curious eyes peering over the edge of a kitchen counter, desk, or table. This pendulum wall clock captures that exact split second of feline curiosity.

Poking out over the top rim of the clock face is an adorable black kitten, paws draped over the wooden edge as though using the dial as its personal perch. Its deep green eyes are bright, wide, and filled with playful wonder, complemented by perked ears that listen to every rustle in the kitchen.

The charm does not stop at the top. Suspended underneath the dial is the kitten’s sleek black tail, which acts as the clock’s functioning pendulum. Powered by a dependable battery mechanism, the tail swings in a gentle, rhythmic arc side to side, marking each passing second with a soothing motion that brings your wall to life.

Warm Parisian Bistro Aesthetic

The main face of the clock is styled after the warm, honest surface of an aged wooden bistro table. Rich walnut, mahogany, and charred oak tones blend together with realistic wood grain textures, offering all the rustic appeal of an antique French eatery without the heavy weight of solid timber.

Key design highlights include:

• The French Inscription: Emblazoned around the centre in elegant vintage lettering is the phrase ‘Le Petit Café de Chat Noir’—translating to ‘The Small Café of the Black Cat’. Framed by an ornate, filigree-style ring, it pays homage to historic Parisian café culture and Montmartre cabaret heritage.

• Framed Vintage Numerals: Instead of plain printed digits, each hour from 1 to 12 is set within its own antiqued wooden tile plaque. The bold, classic typography ensures effortless readability across the room, even in low morning or evening light.

• Stylised Clock Hands: The clock features ornate hands finished in a cream, distressed tone that stands out cleanly against the dark wood backdrop.

Perfect for Kitchens, Breakfast Nooks, and Cosy Corners

Timepieces should do more than just count down the minutes—they should set the mood of the room. The ‘Le Petit Café de Chat Noir’ clock is uniquely suited for spaces where people gather to unwind, chat, and recharge.

• The Kitchen or Breakfast Nook: Mount it right by the kettle, espresso machine, or pantry shelf. It is the ultimate kitchen companion for those quiet, early-morning coffee rituals.

• Dining Rooms and Cafés: Adds instant personality to eating spaces, home bars, or boutique coffee shops looking for an alternative, quirky conversation starter.

• Living Rooms and Reading Corners: The smooth, silent swing of the pendulum tail provides a comforting visual rhythm that complements cosy blankets, bookshelves, and fireside armchairs.

Frequently Asked Questions (QandA)

Does the kitten’s tail swing continuously or only on the hour?

The tail acts as a true mechanical pendulum and swings gently and continuously side to side with every passing second, powered directly by the AA battery.

Does this clock make a loud ticking sound?

The quartz mechanism features a soft, gentle pulse standard for pendulum movements. It is designed to be unobtrusive and will not overpower ambient room sounds in kitchens, dining areas, or living spaces.

What type of battery does it take, and are batteries included?

The clock requires 1 x standard AA battery (not included). For optimal performance and long life, we recommend using a high-quality alkaline battery rather than heavy-duty zinc-carbon cells.

How does the clock hang on the wall?

The back of the clock housing features an integrated keyhole slot. Simply mount a sturdy screw, nail, or wall anchor into your wall, and slip the clock securely onto it. Ensure the clock is hung straight so the pendulum tail has clearance to swing freely.

Is the clock face real solid wood?

The face is crafted from lightweight, high-density composite materials sculpted and printed with ultra-high-definition artwork to give the appearance of real, weathered wooden dining planks without the heavy weight that would risk damaging your walls.

Can the clock be used outdoors?

No. This clock is strictly designed for indoor use. Exposure to rain, high humidity, frost, or direct outdoor sunlight will damage the quartz movement and cause the finish to degrade.
