We know little about Zykkor, except that they manufactured
camera equipment and little calculators like these. This little
TC-1 is as cute as it is functional giving you the requisite
calculating power and full clock and alarm options to boot. Want
one? You're in luck, we've got 'em for sale,
in black and red!

Very cool calculator by Lloyd's that has two displays, one
for time & alarm, the other for computation output. The
audible alarm is driven by a module that you plug into the
underside of the unit that also hold batteries for power.
Ingenious design!

This little Toshiba probably surfaced in 1983 or so. Tiny
calculator clock combo.

Casio's AQ-1400 displayed time and day of week in addition to
standard calculator functions. Obviously, We can gather that in
this time period, calculators with unusual functions like clocks
and stopwatches were commonplace and probably a selling point for
people. Lord knows why one would need a clock on their pocket
calculator but dammit, you had to have one, nonetheless.

Litton Industries' Monroe calculator line is long and
diverse--their operations started in the US, but by the 1970s,
had moved overseas. This little pocket multi-function model was
manufactured in Japan probably around 1982. In addition to clock
functions there's a stopwatch, too.

Canon was a big player in the calculator industry throughout
the '80s. This LC-34T was one of many models that had
functionality beyond the standard mathematic calculations. It
also had a clock with an alarm.

Sure, we knew Pierre Cardin produced pants, but calculators
too? This is their all-in-one device, assumedly marketed for busy
travelling people. It combines a clock, calculator and AM/FM
radio into one handy unit! There's a telescopic antenna and the
clock is armed with an alarm.

Here's Sanyo's all-in-one calculator, the RPM6950. It's part
of the fancy Horizon Collection, a product line that
consisted of sleek and innovative products. Don't be deceived by
the design, the tuning is not digital. There's a small dial on
the top for that.
