ABSTRACT:
A movement for a two-hand quartz analog watch driven by a Lavet-type stepping motor has a minute hand on a shaft driven by a large center wheel overlapping the energy cell. The center wheel has 60 radial slots directly engaging and driven by the stepping motor rotor through a pair of diametrically opposed driving pins disposed in adjacent radial slots of the center wheel. The driving circuit steps the rotor 180 degrees once each minute. A reduction gear drives the hour hand mounted on a center pinion.
