Fig. 1 shows a plan view of a wristwatch and

Fig. 2 shows a plan view of a table clock.

In Fig. 1, for. B. a wristwatch 1 is shown, which has a digital or analog display 2 for the time. In addition, the watch has a display field 3 or display on which numerical values are shown.

The clock 1 also has an input device, in particular with the numbers from 0 to 9, for entering numerical values and also for correcting them. The keypad can be arranged on the back of the clock 1 or under the front, which can be folded up.
