This
Alarm Chronograph seems to be the last watch sold by Texas Instruments. Compare
it with the TI-71 clock.
Small notice from IC-WHEN: Juni 1981 Texas
Instruments, Inc. (TI) announces a Fall 1981 line of digital watches just two
days following a formal announcement that it will be
totally out of the digital watch business by the end of the year.
(AUTHOR’S NOTE: The source of this information suggests that to announce a
product line just two days after declaring to be out of that business is
baffling. Actually, it is easily explained if TI was finalizing negotiations
with one of it's digital watch parts suppliers. When the supplier becomes
convinced that TI would be willing to abandon the line over a disputed terms,
they may quickly econsider their position and TI would appear to contradict an
earlier announcement without feeling the need to discuss
why.)
Don't miss the First Watch introduced in 1978.
