I have been trying to find what happens to the FIDE Chess Clock Contract Bidding? The results should have been announced on 23rd September 2018. But I don't find anything about it. There are 3 winners to be announced.
1) “FIDE Championship Clock”
2) “Official FIDE Chess Clock”
3) “Chess Clock Recommended by FIDE for National Federations”.
I expected new clocks in there. Anyone have any idea?
Revolutionary CHESS CLOCK to hit the chess scene in December.

Thanks, Ron for clarifying the 1-hour limit. I was thinking it could show 90 minutes and still show the seconds, I guess that would be too confusing in that format. I have a clock from Wholesale chess which I believe is the better Leap model and it shows the seconds all the time. I feel it is a great clock for the money. Of course, I have seen the DGT 3000 come way down in the last few months (55 on Amazon and 2-day prime delivery). Here is the clock I bought with a 20% discount so the price was right. I even think when it came out they had a sale on it.
Wholesale Chess Advanced Digital Game Timer with Bonus & Delay
This is a good clock. Actually it is a branded Chinese LEAP PQ-9912 (I have four of them at the club). Maybe it's a bit prettier, as the LEAP comes only in electric blue color.

The difference with the ZMF-II is that you can now see the number of moves in the display .
Being able to see the number of moves made on the display is a great advantage this clock has over most other clocks. On most clocks, you have to annoyingly press a button to see the number of moves made and I don't think I've ever seen anyone press a button on a clock during a game to see the number of moves made. Another great feature of this clock is that it appears that the delay countdown in digits and base time are displayed at the same time (although I wonder if it shows the delay countdown if the move counter is on or if having the move counter on prevents the delay countdown from being shown like is the case with the Chronos clocks). Some clocks (like the vastly overrated DGT NA) don't show the delay countdown in digits and some clocks cover up the base time during the delay countdown. The ZMF II and ZMF Pro have these two options and also have the option of flashing between the base time and delay countdown which is very distracting.
The design of the back of the clock seemed strange at first but now I actually like it a lot!
Yes, Ibought that same clock at the discount when they came out with it.
