Ian,
There are many sources of chess sets for the blind available.
The RNIB,
Chess Baron. in England, They do sets in two sizes,
Sets are available from Blind organisations in Romania, Bulgaria, The Netherlands and I know that the French are producing a new set. for the European Championships for the blind in Lyon. I have seen the prototypes for this set.
Clocks are a problem, Garde make analogue clocks for the blind, They are about 80 Euros each. The Best analogue clocks which are the Jerger clock, are sadly no longer in production.
As for a talking digital clock, the only one in production is made in Spain, through the blind association there.,
I have a direct contact there in fact the person who designed the clock
