Citizen Quarterly Anniversary Style Torsion Clock

This is a decorative mantel clock designed in the style of a traditional 400-day or anniversary clock, manufactured by Citizen. The item features a clear plastic rounded dome that sits atop a gold-toned plastic base. The clock face is silver-toned with intricate filigree engraving in the center and is topped with a decorative crown-like finial featuring three small spires. The dial uses white oval plaques with black Roman numerals and simple black spade hands. Below the dial is a rotating torsion-style pendulum with four gold-toned spheres, characteristic of the anniversary clock aesthetic. Despite its traditional appearance, the inclusion of the 'Quartz' branding on the dial indicates it is a modern battery-operated movement rather than a mechanical wire-suspension piece. The overall construction is primarily lightweight plastic finished to mimic metallic brass and silver. Condition-wise, the gold finish on the base shows visible signs of wear with some pitting, discoloration, and minor surface scratches. The plastic dome appears slightly clouded but intact. This piece likely dates from the late 20th century, specifically the 1980s or 1990s, when these quartz-based replicas were popular mass-market home decor items.
