<p>Quadribalanced digital time displays and methods comprising increasing digital minutes displayed on the right flank of centrally positioned digital present hours, in relatively upper and lower positions during the first and second quarter hours, followed by decreasing digital minutes displayed on the left flank of digital next hours, in relatively lower and upper positions during the third and fourth quarter hours, are enhanced by simultaneously displaying markers (26, 28) in one or more of the three quarter hour minute positions not containing digital minutes at any one time to inform the viewer that such marked positions are functional elements of the display but not activated due to the current time being displayed in another of said minute positions at that time. A single displaceable crown control is also provided for facilitating the operation of a timepiece emboding such enhanced quadribalanced time displays and methods.</p> |
