Review on ⏱️ INSA Light Wood Mechanical Chess Clock: Time Your Moves with Style by Chelsey Smith

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Got this for nostalgia and aesthetics. Superb quality

No frills (other than a super fancy last minute flag), just a well made chess clock. Goes perfectly with our House of Staunton Fisher-Spasky set - it's identical to the watch used in their 1971 match except it was actually a different brand, but the aesthetic is right! Both watches, being hand wound, require matching the pushers to stop time - and as this is the traditional way of stopping a chess clock, I'm glad they left the mechanics as they used to be! Not for tournament play, no lag, etc. Ideal for chess players who appreciate the aesthetics and nostalgia of wooden chess clocks. Made in Germany (I guess) and shows craftsmanship. Very happy with our purchase.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
