WOODEN MECHANICAL ANALOG CHESS CLOCK TIMER NEW IN BOX

DESCRIPTION:

THIS IS A BRAND NEW, FACTORY PACKED ITEM!

Analog clocks use a regular clock face. Each side also has a small flag on it. When the long hand of the clock starts to approach the 12 position it will pick up the flag and raise it as it moves. When it passes the 12 position the flag will fall. Therefore, you always set an analog clock backwards with the amount of time you want per player. So, if you wanted a 15 minute game, you would set the long hand to be on the 9 – exactly 15 minutes before the straight-up 12 position. If you wanted to set the clock for one hour per player you would set the long hand to the 12 position so that one full hour would pass before the flag would fall. Remember to set both sides equally. The short hand of the clock is generally set back from the 6 o'clock position. A 2 hour game would start at 4 o'clock. You use small knobs on the back of the clock to manually move the hands on the face, just like you would adjust the time on a clock that hangs on your wall.
