The Clock application has been found on the iPhone since it first launched in 2007. But when Apple debuted the iPad in 2010, Clock was one of the applications that didn't make its way over to the iPad.
Apple has corrected that with iOS 6, as the Clock will become available on the iPad when the software update launches this fall. Developers were provided with a preview build of iOS 6 after Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference keynote on Monday.
Like on the iPhone, Clock for iPad will allow users to set an alarm on their device. It also features a "World Clock" mode with a map of the globe featuring weather and times in different locales.
Also included is a "Stopwatch" functionality, which allows users to time and event, and mark lap numbers. A "Timer" feature is also included, for more traditional timekeeping.

Finally, i've been wanting for this for a while, but thankfully i just got my first iPad a month ago with LTE so finally its here! Should have been there from the start though
This must be one of those features that require a lot of horsepower. They couldn't add it until the iPad 3rdGen's specs caught up with the advancement in technology.
when are they going to include Calculator?
About time too! I use my ipad for displaying recipes when cooking quite a lot and it's a pain having to have my phone with me too in order to time stuff when I could just do it on the ipad which is already next to me....
Still no sign of an iPad calculator app? - dabrace1984 beat me by 20 seconds!
HOLY CRAP!!?!?!! A CLOCK!!?!?!?! APPLE REINVENTED TIME!?!?!?!?
