The first clock was an idea Earl Arnault (1904 – 1971) and then created and physically prototyped by Clifford Stone (1908-1986) in 1932 and made by the Allied Manufacturing Company, which was owned by Stone, in Portland, Oregon. Allied subsequently moved to Seattle, Washington, in the early 1940s and then to southern California in 1962, whereupon it was renamed California Clock Company. The clock's design has changed little in the intervening years, with the first generation, manufactured from the 1930s–early 1950s having two paws and no bow tie, and newer models having four paws and a bow tie.[2] In the 1960s genuine crystals were added as accents to some clocks.
