I emailed 2x. I do not speak German so I did not attempt to call. I do not assume they speak English at the other end. Actually if they did I should have received a respose by now.
I was surfing the English and European Chess suppliers today as well as Amazon UK ans guess what no less than 3 places had the Garde Turnier Digital Chess Clock in stock including Amazon UK. I found it from £69 to £99 for the same clock and prices in between £84.99. Problem is shipping would tack on another £29.99 on the site that had it for £84.99 that adds up to way too much. But two different sites said it became available on 2/12/2015 so the Garde Factory in Germany must have made another run of these beautiful clocks.
I am just an old timer and love the way this digital looks. Modern tech with an old fashion look and a wooden case.
Here was one link for it another is Amazon UK

Does anyome know for sure that these chess clocks are no longer being made. The company is still in business and they have been making chess clocks for many decades. They do not answer my email when I contact them. Sites in Europe still show their product on their web site but as OOS for now. I like the Garde better than the Chronos even though the Chronos for some reason appears to be back in stock for a day.
I think the Garde besides being finely crafted has a classy look to it, maybe just for us old timers.
Only need to answer if you have some facts. I do know a few months ago the eBay site from Europe was fill of them and now not one. Maybe they made them in batches just once a year?
