An electronic audio-visual timepiece which includes a time updating apparatus for producing updated time information in order to generate an updated time output signal and a processor for processing the updated time output signal in order to generate an audio drive input signal and a visual drive input signal. The electronic audio-visual timepiece also includes a speech synthesizer and a visual display. The speech synthesizer includes a word select network for selecting words forming a sentence telling time which the synthetically produced voice of the character's voice uses to audibly tell the time in response to the audio drive input signal. The visual display includes a stacked array of a plurality of alternating transparent and liquid crystal members with a set of different body position of the character and a liquid crystal driving circuit which selectively and repetitively drives each of the plurality of liquid crystal members to provide animated movement of the character's body in order to visually indicate the time.
