<p>An electronic timpiece which has a main time keeping circuit, an alarm, a counter for providing an alarm time set function, and a subsidiary time function for providing a display of time different from the main time for which the timepiece is set. The counter can be actuated between an upcount and a down-count mode, the alarm time setting being introduced into the counter when in its up-count mode, and providing the alarm operating function when the counter is set to its down-count mode. The counter provides the subsidiary time information by being held in its up-count mode and being driven from the main time keeping circuit, with which connection is broken when subsidiary time is being set into the counter. A display selectively gives main time or a reading of counter count,and therefore displays main time,alarm set time,or subsidiary time.</p> |
