Precision Mechanical Chess Timer

Size: 15 cm (L) × 5.5 cm (W) × 9 cm (H). Weight: Lightweight yet substantial due to dense wood core and reinforced plastic internals — balances portability with stable tabletop presence. Material composition: Natural-toned wood housing with engineered plastic movement housing and button mechanisms — built for repeated winding and pressing without fatigue or deformation. Timing mechanism: Pure mechanical escapement system — wound manually, driven by mainspring energy storage. Dual independent timing circuits controlled by separate push buttons — ensures accurate alternation between players with no cross-interference. Verified accuracy: maximum deviation of 1 second per 24 hours under normal room conditions. Designed for clarity and continuity: no display to dim or fail, no modes to misconfigure, no USB ports or cables. Used widely across UK chess clubs and continental federations where fairness, transparency, and ease-of-judgement are prioritised — especially valuable for junior players, visually impaired users, and time-pressured match environments.
