If you intend to play mostly short time controls, take a clock with a bigger face, like the Garde, because it is easier to read. If you decide to have only one clock and it's analogue, mind that the flag, while a clear mechanical solution, is hard to read- you have to learn to estimate your seconds remaining towards the end of a game correctly. When I play casually, I use digital for blitz and rapid to enjoy the increment- and analogue for longer games like 35 minutes each or more, for the beauty of the looks, sounds and handling of a good old clock.

The ever changing digits- they are what they are. That could easily double the price, but okay, it is worth it.Īnalogue beats digital in looks and sound- the ticking and the clicking of the metal buttons on wood is marvelous. The older the clock, the more likely it is it will need a cleansing (then again, some have already been cleaned in their life). Generally speaking, the older the edition, the more beautiful: more wood (sometimes bakelite) and metal and less plastic. Widely used- and now, with clubs letting their analogue stock go and with analogue clocks in private hands being given to the younger generation, they are widely available here. Here are three of the most popular analogue clocks in Germany, the small bhb (v.Rolland and alpha produced clocks of this compact type, as well), the laid back Jerger and the great big Garde.
