This is a 1996 Denver Art Museum Quartz Watch, created as a souvenir piece highlighting the museum’s celebrated architecture. The dial features a clean black background with minimalist stick indices and straight silver hands, accented by a bold red sweep second hand.

Restoration Thoughts / Notes:
- The zig-zag outline on the dial is a direct nod to the museum’s angular, modernist building, designed to stand out as a work of art in its own right.
- These watches were produced with Japan Movement internals but caseback-stamped Denver Art Museum, blending horology with cultural identity.
- Museum gift shop watches like this were rarely made in large numbers, making them collectible not only for their timekeeping but also as pieces of architectural and cultural memorabilia.
