I'm looking for someone that sells very nice wood chess clocks. I just
bought a great wood board and pieces, but I've never come across a clock I
thought was nice enough to go along with it. I already know about Rolland,
but they don't have quite what I'm looking for. Any help is appreciated.

You can get an extravagant wood case made using normal works... if you
don't find the readymade stuff good enough.

You may want to look into the Gambit clock that House of Staunton has.
www.houseofstaunton.com You can also get it through the USCF
catalog.

I have ordered from Your Move aka icdchess.com and they have quick shipping.
Really a good chess store with anything you can think of in stock. Their
Rolland wooden chess clocks are awesome.

I like the Jerger wooden tilt-back clock better than either the Gambit
or the Rolland. The Gambit and the Rolland wood tilt-back clocks are
nice though. I'm not that crazy about the other Rollands.

I haven't seen a Jerger and my search for it revealed no pictures.
Are they still made? It sounds interesting. If you have a link to a pic of
one could you send it my way? Thanks!
The other Rollands are not so interesting to me. I like wood over plastic.

I don't know if they're still made. I bought mine in the late 80's
and it got lost along the way somehow. They look sort of like the
wood tilt-back Rollands.
