Good Looking Digital Chess Clocks

Sort:

I'm just curious: is there a digital chess clock out there that doesn't  look like a cheap piece of plastic or some industrial design from the Soviet Union?

Actually no, there are none.

There was one made, the Duel Timer, that did look very nice.  The body was real wood and it had brass buttons and face plate.  That clock is no longer being made.

The VTEK 300 is the sturdiest clock on the market. Not sure what a "industrial design from the Soviet Union" looks like so I can't say if the VTEK looks like that or not.

Thanks a lot for your answers. @Micahsmith, VTEK was what I had in mind when choosing that expression happy.png

Was listed on eBay but is no longer available. May become available again if the seller decides to relist them.

@thegiuocopianio, thanks for posting the pictures. These look different indeed, but are unfortunately not to my taste. I had hoped for some timeless elegance, maybe Bauhaus inspired happy.png

Interessant, ich dachte, die machen nur mechanische Uhren. Danke für den Tip!

Chronos clocks.

Have to agree with Eyechess on this one. There are no good looking digital chess clocks.

@sound67, you need a crystal ball to predict your opponent's moves. Every clock should have one.

May have been what the owner who decided to decorate the clocks was thinking.

@treedom That's actually nice, but I simply went for a DGT 2010.
