I am looking for a wall clock that was displayed in the music video
"Chocolate" by the band "Snow Patrol."  The wall clock looks like a
monkey, or a bear, and has its eyes looking left and right as it
ticks.  I am not looking for the ACTUAL clock that was in the video,
but one that is identical.  My Question:  What is the address of a
website, or store (near the San Fransisco, CA), where I can buy this
clock?

Howdy nickscho-ga,

The following might be the only place where you can source this clock,
outside some vintage store.

The main source for the clock you want is the company that made them,
the Fountain Valley, California based California Clock Company, also
the makers of the famous "Kit-Cat" clocks.
http://www.kit-cat.com/classicelectric.htm

"...
Electric, motor-driven, clocks were discontinued 16 years ago by
California Clock Company. Today the only available electric clocks are
refurbished.
...
Bear Clock Colors Available
Brown
Call 800-454-8228 to see if clock is available.
..."

They can also be contacted through the following methods.

- service@kit-cat.com
- 714-545-4321 - phone
- 714-708-2099 - fax

The Kit Cat Clock Service Center in Lakewood, Colorado might be able to
source one for you.

Teddy Bear, and Panda Bear clocks. I buy, sell, trade, repair, service,
and restore many of these clocks each year."

- info@kitcatservice.com
- 303-763-5227 - phone

Strangely enough, I used to live 10 minutes away from this business.

If it turns out one of the above have the clock in stock, please update
here, so I can then post this as an answer.

You might be able find one on eBay, but some searches I did on there
did not produce any at all, which is not a good sign.

Hello.

I have been able to confirm the availability of the clock.

It is not made anymore so it is now a pretty rare collector's item. 
It goes for about $270 at the place you mentioned and they have one in
stock.

Thank you for your help in this matter.  Your info was an answer, so
let me know if there is any further action required on my part, so you
receive your $5.

Thanks again.

Howdy nickscho-ga,

Greatly appreciate you accepting this as an answer.  My posting this
as an answer will conclude the process, unless you have any further
questions.

If you need any clarification, please feel free to ask.


Search strategy:

I knew about the "Kit-Cat" clocks, and I suspected that they made the
clock in question, and my searches confirmed that suspicion.
