A correction circuit for an electronic timepiece is provided wherein a divider stage can be corrected without effecting correction of any other digit of the electronic timepiece to be corrected. The electronic timepiece includes a quartz crystal oscillator circuit for producing a high frequency time standard signal, a divider circuit including a plurality of divider stages adapted to receive said high frequency timekeeping signals, certain of the divider stages being adapted to produce low frequency timekeeping signals in response to said high frequency timekeeping signals, and display elements associated with said certain divider stages for displaying the time counted thereby in response to said timekeeping signals applied thereto. The electronic timepiece includes a correction circuit including a portion intermediate a divider stage to be corrected and the next divider stage for inhibiting the carry signal from the divider stage to be corrected, whereby the next divider stage is not advanced by the carry signal of the divider stage to be corrected. In one embodiment, an inhibit circuit is corrected to receive the corrected carry signal from divider stage to be corrected and the carry signal from the next-previous divider stage and adapted to inhibit the transmission of that portion of the corrected carry signal representative of a carry due to correction to the next divider stage.
An electronic timepiece equipped with a differentiation carry inhibit circuit arranged to allow a carry operation due to a carry signal produced by a time counter in response to a time unit signal when the timepiece remains in a time correction mode and inhibit a carry operation due to a carry signal arising from a correction signal produced by actuation of a correction switch.
An electronic timepiece includes a primary timepiece circuit unit including a frequency supply for providing a relatively high frequency signal, a frequency converter responsive to the relatively high frequency signal to provide a relatively low frequency time unit signal, timing signals, and a plurality of word pulses indicative of a plurality of data words representing time data concerning the current time, and a set of additional data other than the time data, a timekeeping register arranged to store the time data and the additional data, and display elements for displaying the time data and the additional data. A secondary timepiece circuit unit includes a register arranged to store the additional data to be transferred to the timekeeping register.
A time indication correcting device of a digital display timepiece, wherein upon depressing the time adjusting switch, a counter of the second digit (or the counter of the minute digit) is reset and is held in the reset state, and simultaneously therewith, the minute digit counter (or the hour digit counter) receives one pulse and is stopped after counting the pulse, and upon releasing the time adjusting switch at a predetermined time, the clock operation is started, whereby the indication of the minute digit (or the hour digit) can be corrected.
