I have one just like Kenardi except with a green display. The touch sensor is da bomb.

That BCE set does look sharp!  They take a great pictures too, that picture is from the BCE website, I actually have this version of the same clock (Tuxedo Black and White):

Mahogony... ? I have to respectfully disagree on that one as evidenced with this pic... Of course I wasn't there at the time so I could be wrong ;)

agree w/ Robb - Garde clocks were never offered w/ Mahogany frames, although you do see them frequently stained a darker brown. The older Garde models in particular (pre-1970) came in a dark stain w/ a small lighter strip on the front.

I've admired this clock on the Dorland site, Luft. Is it yours? Does it function? Did you find a reference to the maker on the clockworks?

Got that one too.  Classy but no one uses analog in tournaments anymore.

That would be horrible. I remember playing in large tournaments in NYC during the 1970s, with well over a hundred clocks ticking in the same room at the same time. All together, they made quite a lot of noise.
