Rare Chess Clock, there are only 15 of these clocks made by a Zaanse chess enthusiast and clockmaker. Internally, a specific mechanism to alternately turn the clocks on and off.
Inscription in the middle: Z.S.C., which stands for Zeense Schaak club.

Outer letters form the name of the club, DESAENDE, with the humorous note that the letters DE are used twice.

This chess clock works wonderfully.
The winding mechanism, the push buttons, and the hands are in perfect condition.
The winding keys are unique to this clock.

The chess clock shows little wear. It is unknown how many of these clocks still exist and remain intact.

This beautiful clock is well packed and insured for shipment.


Zeldzame Schaakklok, Er zijn slechts 15 stuks van deze klokken gemaakt door een Zaanse schaakliefhebber en klokkenmaker. Inwendig een specifiek mechanisme om de klokken beurtelings aan en uit te zetten.
Inscriptie in het midden: Z.S.C., wat staat voor Zeense Schaak club.  

Buitenste letters vormen de naam van de club, DESAENDE waarbij komisch genoeg de letters DE twee keer worden gebruikt. 

Deze schaakklok werkt geweldig.
Het opwindmechanisme, de drukknoppen en de wijzers verkeren in perfecte staat.
De opwindsleutels zijn bij deze klokuniek. 

De schaakklok heeft weinig slijtage.   Onbekend is hoeveel er van deze klokken nog bestaan en intact zijn. 

Deze prachtige klok wordt goed verpakt en verzekerd verzonden.
