Chess Clocks & Game Timers
Although standardised rules to govern international competitive chess had begun to be codified by the mid 19th century, the question of timed play remained a vexing issue with improvisations proving manifestly inadequate. It would not be until 1883 in England that a time device analogous to the modern chess clock was devised. This triumph of Victorian ingenuity effectively eliminated the blight of cogitating players consuming exorbitant amounts of time in deciding their moves.
