       | "Sinclair Research - creators of the ZX Spectrum and
       | Timex/Sinclair computers - unveiled a futuristic prototype FM
       | watch in 1984. The three separate cases hold an LCD watch,
       | piezoelectric speaker and FM tuner, along with a separate battery
       | compartment in the clasp. The watch design was spearheaded by
       | Sinclair product design manager Dagfinn Aksnes, who recalls that
       | Clive Sinclair's casual design brief was, 'Design an FM Radio
       | Watch as small as possible. The watch must have an integrated
       | speaker and aerial. The aim is to design the first/smallest
       | integrated FM Radio Watch in the world.' Sinclair's partner TIMEX
       | was selected to manufacture the revolutionary watch."
