A Casio flip-top watch is any of the calculator and databank watches Casio built with a hinged cover over the LCD and keypad, concealing a secret-agent-style gadget under an ordinary wristwatch face. Casio dates the analog-over-digital IA-1000 to 1992, the same year documented for the FTP-30; the FTP-10 followed in 1993. (Casio; Digital Watch Library) On the prop side, Propstore's own catalog notes that the flip-top watch worn by Tom Arnold's Albert Gibson in True Lies was custom-built and branded by the production to resemble a real-world Casio flip-top, opening to reveal an LCD screen and keypad, rather than being an actual Casio unit.
