Electronic watch

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To realize an analogue electronic watch where calendar correction is performed by reverse rotation and an accurate time is always displayed and the time is automatically corrected at the end of the month, by transferring normal rotation and reverse rotation of an electromechanical transducer to different transfer mechanisms separately. CONSTITUTION:Normal rotation and reverse rotation separating mechanism 14 gearing with electromechanical transducer 1 which can rotate normally and reversely gears with the second wheel 3, where second hand 10 is fixed, to transfer normal rotation of transducer 1 and gears with reverse rotation transfer gear 15 to transfer reverse rotation of transducer 1. Transfer gear 15 gears with shorter month (months of 30 days) correcting data indicator driving wheel 16. When shorter month detecting signal 17a is input to driving circuit 17, driving circuit 17 outputs one or more shorter month correcting signals, by which transducer 1 rotates reversely, during time counting signals (signals circled with the narrow dotted line) at a one-second interval, by which transducer 1 rotates normally, as shown in (2). By this driving circuit, transducer 1 rotates normally at a normal time, and rotates normally at a one-second interval and reversely once or more during normal rotation for shorter month correction.
