Abstract
The present invention relates to a timepiece which is automatically corrected by responding to the standard time announcement on radio, television, etc., every hour at "zero" time. In the invention, the timepiece is previously adjusted to be slightly fast. As soon as the radio set receives a standard time signal, a stopper stretches out at a certain point i.e., at the point of 30 seconds) on the dial and the second hand in motion stops against this stopper at the point. On the other hand, the stopper is released by means of an electronic timer at a certain time interval (30 seconds) after said radio set receives a standard time signal and the second hand starts at the correct time.
