Separate Clock for Breaks

You're only using one clock at a time.

Also, I'm not suggesting the possibility only for play-clock tournaments. Maybe some tournaments that aren't ready to use or enforce the (Bronstein) play clock would consider introducing the (analog) break clock. It's easier to learn -- no nerve-wracking interfacing with dice, mechanics, etc., that we take for granted but intimidate many new clock users -- and the players only have to deal with it once or twice per match.

The play clock and break clock solve different time problems, and I see them as independent decisions. One can use neither, either or both.
