Chess Clocks - Analog Digital Hybrids

Sort:
GBREAL

Hello

I have been wanting to get a digital chess clock. I know about the standard ones on the market: Chronos, DGT, ZMart etc.

However, what caught my eye were the Garde and Duel Timer chess clocks. I find the digital-analog blend to be aesthetically pleasing.


Unfortunately, both clocks are no longer produced and I haven't been able to find one used.

Are there any clocks currently being produced that combine digital with wood?

Thanks

I believe that Chess Plus out of Europe may still make a wooden digital chess clock.

Even the DGT 3000 Limited Edition is a wooden one.

It's plastic material, not real wood.

But the analog were not numbers in wood. The charm was the hands turning. Maybe with a spherical screen that goes back with the increments (that would look great). I mean, with so much cheap cell phone with a huge screen, they have shown that it is not that expensive.

@RobertoLM Some like the look and feel of wood. Plus with the wood and digital has that old and new look in one. Like with Steampunk.

I have a Duel Timer, the button one, not touch sensor as shown. I love the clock! Easy to set and fully functional. They stopped making them about six years ago. It’s a shame too, because they are fantastic clocks. The only draw back is you can’t tell who is on move from the back side of the clock.

This is my video of the set I use he clock with most. You can see the duel timer at the 1:41 mark.  It is the Ash Wood version with charcoal stain.  

Duel Timer in this video 1:41

Every no and again you can find used ones on EBay.
