i happen to pass by a barber shop and noticed guys playing blitz with side bets and noticed that the clock they were using was unusually different from standard chess clocks. I asked a fellow kibitzer what kind of chess clock that was and he said "Its home made, the barber made it himself.".Wow.

Seems pretty easy to make, I took apart an analog chess clock once and all it is is two regular clocks. Pressing the button connects the circuit on one of them making the clock go, and pressing again breaks the circuit of one and  connects the other.

but the clock was made from a quartz crystal clocks installed inside a tupperware and alarms when time is forfeited.

yea i'd like to see the .pdf file or the annotated blueprint if anyone has one.

Otherwise I'll have to content myself with the apps for iphone and the normal clocks.
