Meta Title: Vintage Gardé Chess Clock – 3rd Gen Light Wood | ChessboArt
Meta Description: Discover the 3rd generation Gardé mechanical chess clock. Light wood case, fully functional, authentic East German engineering – now available at ChessboArt.
This is a vintage 3rd generation Gardé mechanical chess clock, crafted in East Germany in the late 1970s or 1980s. The case is made from solid light wood – typically beech – with the classic dual-dial layout and mechanical movement inside.
This clock is mechanically working and has been tested. However, the wood casing shows visible signs of age and wear, as seen in the photos. It is a great candidate for full restoration – either by us or a professional of your choice.
More photos available on request or coming soon.
This clock is currently available for purchase from our verified collection. Please contact us directly if you would like to request restoration or a detailed condition report.

— you’ll reach me,
FM Michał Fudalej. I design and make each board by hand.
Yes, it’s a small brand. And every story has to start somewhere.
And honestly — I’d be truly glad even if you just say hi.
