ABSTRACT:
A frequency divider divides a sonic or ultrasonic time base frequency to provide signals with a frequency of N/60 Hz, where N is a whole number comprised between 1 and 16. These signals drive a motor step-by-step, the motor in turn driving minutes and hours hands by one step per pulse. A liquid crystal supplied with a signal of optically perceptible frequency of about 1 Hz can be added, providing a flashing optical display enabling verification of running of the watch.
