A timepiece having a large digit vertical format digital time display. In a two-row mode, hours may be displayed over minutes, or minutes may be displayed over seconds, or seconds may be displayed over tenths or hundredths of a second, or the month may be displayed over the date, or the day may be displayed over an AM/PM indicator. In a three-row mode, hours may be displayed over minutes over seconds, or minutes may be displayed over seconds over tenths or hundredths of a second, or the day may be displayed over the month over the date. The timepiece can switch between two-row and three-row modes, and both modes are used in normal time keeping functions as well as stopwatch functions. The vertical format display is compatible with segmented and pixelated representations of digits, and allows the use of large digits without substantially increasing the overall physical dimensions of the timepiece. |
