A commercially available clock IC which is easily influenced by a temperature change or the like is used as it is, thereby easily allowing the clock IC to function as a high precision clock IC. A high precision oscillator is provided separately from a clock circuit as a clock IC. On the basis of a clock signal from the high precision oscillator, a predetermined time, for example, one minute is measured by a high precision clock control circuit. A correction signal is transmitted to the clock circuit as a clock IC from a high precision control circuit every measurement of such a predetermined time, thereby allowing the correcting operation of the time information to be executed. The clock circuit is, consequently, made operative at a precision of the high precision oscillating circuit.
