Chess Clocks


Here are a few different choices. The 1st one seems like the same one used in a video from Los Angeles Chess Fortress.

I would hesitate to say which is best, as that is a matter of personal preference. The BHB and Classic are small, so I keep those in my bag for use in coffee shops. At home, I like to use the Insa because it is large and looks nice. I use my Aradora (made in Romania) at home, as well, due to the size. My default clock, though, would be the Garde Classic. Although mine is made in China, it has been reliable and that it is neither too big nor too small makes it a good all around clock. Probably the easiest clock to acquire in North America, though, is BHB which is carried by many online chess stores.
If you are interested in chess clocks in general, I would recommend the clock section on the chess museum website:

Can anybody recommend to me a good analog chess clock?
I have a digital clock that is ok and works nicely but I much prefer the classic old-school look and feel of a real analog clock. I'm looking for something that will last me a long time and thus am willing to put a little more buck in, but I'm not sure where to look.
