Can alway email Jon , maybe he can Help !


Hi. I saw a Tanner clock recently, which went for £1,600. There is also one on ebay.co.uk at the moment for £1,999 in case you are interested. It seems expensive - but like all these things, in 10 years, it'll be worth £10,000!
But the reason I'm posting is because I need some help identifying this chess clock.
When I bought this, I thought it was some sort of old 50s-era Soviet chess clock. But it seems to be a Jaques clock (actually HAC of Germany, but sold and branded by Jaques in the UK) from much earlier, probably 1920s. It's not in the best shape (then again, it's 100 years old now so..!) but you can clearly see that it has no flags. I think this must mean that it was one of the earlier models of this type of clock that Jaques produced.
According to my preliminary research, this clock was the "improved" version of the fancier and prettier clock the OP posted at the top of this thread. Now, I'm not sure about any of this so defer to the experts here. But any information, thoughts etc. would be very appreciated. I'm excited...hopefully justifiably so!

These clocks were indeed made by HAC and sold by Jaques, but not exclusively. The ones sold by Jaques often had either a "Jaques" imprint on the front of the case or a small metal badge on the back of the case and were in some cases marked "foreign" on the clockface. Accordingly, this one could be a clock retailed by Jaques, but it is not entirely clear from the picture.
I have the same clock with the same type of clockface, but with flags. However, both the clockface and the flags are different from the more common HAC model, which is why I also have assumed that the one predates the other. But I have not found any conclusive evidence for this so far.
Here are my two versions of this clock:

@Efim Thanks very much for posting this information and the photos. I scoured the internet - well, for 20 minutes - and didn't find an HAC with the older-style numbers on the dial. I wonder how common they are. In any case, your versions are great, and in beautiful condition.
I noticed after posting the photo of mine that the left-hand minute hand appears different from the rigth-hand one. I haven't taken possession of the clock yet so I don't know what's going on there. But it's disappointing to see. I'll report in with more photos when I receive the clock.
Dear Chess Friends. I am looking for these four antique chess clocks shown on the pictures blow. My email is: hsoiland@gmail.com.
I am equally interested in these 4 chess clocks.
Sincerely,
Håvard Søiland, Norway
