A dual mode clock and timer unit includes a housing and a plurality of displays mounted on the housing for facilitating the viewing of time-related data from different directions. The housing has top, bottom, and side surfaces defining the exterior of the housing in a generally truncated pyramidal shape. The displays are mounted on the housing side surfaces and angularly displaced from one another. Switches are mounted on the top and bottom housing surfaces and are actuable for selecting one or the other of dual clock and timer operating modes and, after one or the other of the dual modes have been selected, for causing different functions to occur in one of the modes than in the other of the modes. Also, a circuit, such as microcomputer-based circuit, is provided in the housing electrically connected between the switches and each of the displays for currently carrying out operations in clock and timer modes and for causing indications of time-related data on the displays relating to one or the other, but not both concurrently, of clock and timer modes in response to selected actuation of the switches.
