1988 Vienna Art Deco Quartz Watch Ref. SQ178
1988 Vienna Art Deco Quartz Watch Ref. SQ178
Reference Number: SQ178
Manufactured Date: 1988
A bold statement piece from the late 1980s, this Vienna Quartz Ref. SQ178 combines Art Deco flair with a playful, almost Pop-Art aesthetic. The white dial is framed by a colorful quadrant of red, blue, green, and yellow, with matching geometric cutouts in the original leather strap. Gold-tone hands and trim add a touch of elegance, balancing its vivid character. This Japanese quartz-powered watch is as much a conversation piece as it is a timekeeper.

Restoration Thoughts / Notes:
- Pop-Art Influence – The multicolor dial and strap design echo the bold, geometric style that was popular in late ’80s fashion and graphic design.
- Art Deco Meets 1980s – While its colors are modern, the square-within-a-circle dial layout pays homage to the symmetry and geometry of 1920s–1930s Art Deco design.
- Original Matching Strap – The white leather strap features cutout inlays of the same primary colors as the dial, an uncommon detail that ties the whole design together.
