One of the main sub-collections in my main watch collection are robot watches. The majority are Tokima robots, but I have a few Takara robots too.
Today's watch has to be one of the geekiest in my collection as it is not only a transforming robot watch, it is also a calculator watch too.
The watch is the Calculator Robot by Takara, which is part of their Watch-Q line issued in Japan, and Kronoform robot watch range in the US, and was released in 1984. For the Kronoform line, the name of the watch is Kaltor. I'm not sure if this is the Japanese or American version.
The module used has time, alarm, and calculator, and is powered by A CR1620 battery. Time setting is unusual in that you type in the new time using the calculator keypad.
The watch is connected to the strap by a spring loaded clip, with a release button on the left side. To transform to the robot, the following steps are taken:
-arms are folded out from the side (two hinges)
-legs are folded down (two hinges), the bottom sections rotated, and feet folded out from underneath
-head flipped over from the top.
