Sir ("uncle") Clive Sinclair "created":
fm radio, micromatic (radio), project 60 project 80 ic6 ic12 (audio), black (wrist)watch, executive oxford cambridge (calculators), mictovision (tv), zx80, zx81, spectrum, ql, tvpc newbrain (computers), in ear radio, c5, zike ......
(this list isn't exhaustive, I've missed some things out, and probably don't know about others!).
The "hi tech style" adverts for these things appeared in electronics magazines, national newspapers, sunday supplements, etc.
Most successful was the Spectrum, which sold in millions, at one point demand hugely exceeded supply, and "please wait 28 days for delivery" became a national joke!
So, "Sinclair memories", anyone?
