Vintage Allan Troy Chess Clock-Jerger "King" chess clock The Queen's Gambit PG

Description: Because of stay-at-home orders in Arizona and the problems it creates, we are lengthening our shipping time window to 20 business days. We regret the inconvenience and hope to return to ten days in the near future. The German chess clock company Jerger offered this design back in the 1980s. The clock is designed for tournament chess. It features a tilt-back design for easy reading of the dials. It is quiet and movements are smooth. It was the Mercedes-Benz of chess clocks. Both movements work well. I have done a bench test on each side and the clocks keep accurate time. Because of changes in the rules of U.S. Chess Federation, this clock, like all analog clocks, are now disfavored but still legal. This clock is primarily a mantelpiece clock. Because of the vagaries of shipping, I cannot guarantee that the clock will run when it arrives. With these older, mechanical, spring-driven beauties, it is a good idea to exhaust both clock movements when you are through using them. Most chess players are in the bad habit of leaving their clocks wound for months or years, which takes a toll on them. A very similar clock to this one recently sold at auction for $275. We will pay for insurance. Happily, we have the original box and the original papers. Sadly, the warranty is no longer any good--Jerger is out of business. Follow us! This is only one of several old collectible clocks that we will be selling in the coming weeks. We combine shipping! To combine, place all your purchases in the shopping cart and press "proceed to checkout." These volumes come from the private library of Allan Troy, late owner of Troy's Chess Shoppe, Torrance, California. Follow us!
