Chess Clocks

I have just bought a plastic-cased German chess clock dating to about the late 1970s, powered by two wind-up movements - one for each dial. My example is not exactly a high quality item but it has obviously seen a fair amount of use and was evidently tested and marked up as "OK" in 1986.

I have noticed that there are chess clocks and chess clocks, and I must admit I would love to have a pre-owned example by a really good maker.

I would be most interested to hear from members about their chess clocks, and it would be nice to have some pictures as well. More historical information and some pics of really old and/or fine quality examples would not go amiss. Anyway, to start off with, here are two identical quality hand-wind chess clocks probably from the early1970s made by Looping with the bottom example branded for Heuer.
