Analog Chess Clock!

They move as an analog Garde. Additionally you can follow the time on a digital display. 

OK, thank you again, brasileirosim. I've often wished to own one of these models even though my friend and I like using analog clocks and much prefer the looks of them to the digitals. It's fun starting and stopping each other's time with the analog buttons and hearing the ticking. However, the accuracy of a digital timer is good for those bullet games. This way you can have both in one package so I'll continue to keep my eyes open! I do own a good DGT 3000, however. Does your Garde electronic still work OK?  I'd heard that problems with them are pretty much inevitable which is kind of discouraging as there's no replacement electronic parts available for them as so few were actually made.

Yes, it seems to work ok, although I didn't use many of the functions,  mostly only 5 minutes blitz and rapid. Mostly I use other analog clocks. I have three or four Gardes. I use them also for chess lessons to teach my students how to use a clock. 

What??

Hi friends!

Im think buy a present for my dad for they birthday.

I found a GAMBIT PRIM CLOCK, the seller say its original but i see the PRIM logo is different of others. Can confirm its a genuine clock? 

thanks!

Now a got my Tempest chess clock. Funny that it didn’t work with my smartphone, so I gave my phone to my wife and bought a new one - I really wanted to use the chess clock!

@TheGiuocoPianio, I think what Mario meant was that the Prim logo on his clock looked different from the usual Prim logo. I have seen different Prim logos, but this one was not among them so far. It looks like an original clock with a rare logo to me.

This is how the Prim logo on these clocks usually looks like.

The only logos I knew so far are the following two:

But it is always good to do some further research. The company's website includes links to all trademark certificates. The various certificates not only include variations of the two logos above, but also this one, which was registered in 1997 - bingo!!!

Finally i give thw clock to my parent for his birthday and thanks to you I know more data from my present.

Thanks for all.!! 

Hi, whilst researching my own clocks, I found a dutch site which stated the following:

"At the bottom of the dial it says Made in Germany. Adri Helfrich pointed out to me that this was used precisely at the time of the 2 Germanys. And for export reasons because the ‘West’ did not yet recognize the GDR. The West could of course not import from countries that did not exist. In 1966, however, the Russians urged VolksEigenerBetrieb Ruhla to replace made in Germany with ‘GDR’. After 1966, Ruhla gradually switched to this."

I do have about 4 of the Fischer-Spassky model to sell and about nine from the 3rd generation still manufactured in Germany in the 90ies after the restart of the Ruhla company. PM me if you're interested.
