Thinking of designing a high-end analog chess timer. Thoughts?

Hey guys! 

I am an avid woodworker, as well as chess enthusiast. I really appreciate the atheistic of analog clocks, and was looking to buy a really nice one. However, I was unable to find a clock made with premium wood (say like purple heart, for example).

Then I thought: Maybe this is something others would be interested in as well! 

I am thinking something that kind of looks like this:

But with German internals, and a nice, premium wood frame.

I was thinking of hand-making them, and selling them for probably 200-250$ (Due to price of premium wood).

Perhaps as a nice accessory to a high end chess board. 

What are your guy's thoughts?
