Citizen Quartz Commemorative Desk Clock (Jewish Community Centre Sports Celebrity Dinner 1988)

This is a vintage Citizen Quartz desk clock, likely a promotional or commemorative item. The clock features a square shape with a frame that appears to be made of plastic designed to mimic tortoise shell, a common aesthetic from the mid to late 20th century. The frame has a rich, mottled brown and amber coloring, providing a classic and somewhat elegant appearance. Inside this outer frame, there's a thinner, possibly metallic, gold-toned bezel which nicely complements the tortoise shell pattern and the clock's face. The clock face is a light, possibly champagne or cream, color with minimalist black line hour markers. The hour and minute hands are also black, simple, and baton-style, with no discernible second hand. The 'Citizen' logo is prominently displayed below the 12 o'clock position. Below the center of the clock face, 'QUARTZ' is inscribed, indicating its movement type. A notable distinguishing feature is a blue Star of David symbol integrated near the 9 o'clock position, with additional text to its right that appears to read 'Jewish Community Centre' and possibly a location or further details, though these are slightly obscured. Below the center, near the 6 o'clock position, 'SPORTS CELEBRITY DINNER' and 'JUNE 13, 1988' are inscribed, clearly indicating its commemorative purpose and precise date of origin. The clock face is protected by a clear acrylic or glass cover, which shows some smudges or dust but no apparent chips or cracks. The overall condition appears good for its age, with no significant visible damage to the frame or face, suggesting it has been reasonably well-preserved. There are no obvious signs of significant wear or large scratches presented in the image. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for a mass-produced desk clock of its era, focusing on functional design with a touch of elegance through the materials chosen for the frame.
