![]() ![]() I can't post the link as I'm a new User and this is my first post on. Hi GJW4922 - there's a article published in 2016 that may be helpful. ![]() I've picked up a lot of information about Garde clocks from two main sources. How did you find out that the generation 2 Garde model was released in '65? I know, of course that the generation2 model was used in the '72 Fischer - Spassky match ( which is why I bought mine! ) but I've been unable to pin down when the second generation Garde came into being. I enjoyed reading your input about these clocks very much and I thank you. I think they are the best of the Garde clocks!! Definitely more stable! Plus the clock faces have much thicker, bolder numerals. One thing I like in particular about them is that they're about 1/4 of an inch larger in depth than the generation 1 & 2s and have little rubber feet on the bottom of the clock to help absorb the pounding and to protect the wood base during vigorous use. They still used the timers actually produced in the Ruhla factory and are referred to as the Generation 3 Ruhlas. ![]() They say " Garde Ruhla" on each clock face below the hour - minute hands. Why do you think the last Garde Ruhla model which was made - not the Garde "Classic" which is made in China - but the ones that Kasparov shows in his video about his training course is inferior to the Generation 1 and 2s. I got the impression that the first Garde clock was shown at the 1960 Chess Olympiad but when, exactly the generation 2s became available is unclear to me. AFAIC, both Garde models are superior to the later models produced after German unification. IIRC, the switch occured in the mid sixties, which puts the older model somewhere between 58 (when UMF Ruhla switched from manufacturing the Thiel clocks to Garde) to 65. The 'tanned' model w/ the little white stripe was the first Garde model, the lighter wood model came later. ![]()
