ABSTRACT:
The timepiece comprises a first motor for driving a second hand and a second motor for driving minute and hour hands.
When the timepiece is operating normally, the first motor, which comprises at least two coils, is controlled continuously by variable voltages in such a way that its rotor is subjected to a rotating magnetic field and that the second hand moves forward by effecting at least five jumps per second. Furthermore, these voltages are preferably such that the rotor effects one revolution per minute, it therefore being possible to fix the second hand directly to the rotor shaft.
The second motor is a conventional, preferably bidirectional stepping motor.
