The invention relates to a time setting device for an electronic watch comprising an oscillator, a frequency divider and counting and display devices for the minutes and for the hours connected in series. This device comprises further at least one commutator to switch the input of the counter of the watch onto a capacitor, a resistor charging said capacitor, the forward or backward stepping of this counter of one unit being controlled by the discharge of said capacitor.

The invention concerns a time-setting device for an electronic watch. This time-setting device is original in that it comprises only one control member to set the watch at different setting speeds. Furthermore, this control member is formed by a pushbutton which is made alike the winding and setting crown of an ordinary mechanical watch to be immediately familiar to the user.
