1. So I'm guessing they would use a Patek Philippe

timer when playing.

2. I feel like I'm supposed to say it's beautiful.

But I can't.

Yikes! Use google to search for "The Pearl Royale" and look at the first link.

3. Lovely, but I like this one:

"The eleven chess pieces on display in the Museum of Scotland were part of a large hoard buried on Lewis. The hoard contained 93 gaming pieces in total, including from at least four chess sets as well as from other games. The chess pieces were probably made in the late 12th or early 13th century in Norway." https://www.nms.ac.uk/explore-our-collections/stories/scottish-history-and-archaeology/lewis-chess-pieces/
