ABSTRACT:
Timing apparatus is provided for use in calibrating a wristwatch whose timing accuracy depends on the oscillation frequency of an electrical oscillator in the wristwatch. Electrical energy radiated from the wristwatch is picked up and in response there is produced a first periodic signal whose fundamental frequency depends on the oscillation frequency. In response to the first periodic signal there is produced a second periodic signal. The first and second periodic signals have the same fundamental frequency, but a frequency-dependent phase-shifting circuit causes a phase shift to be defined between the first and second periodic signals. The amount of this phase shift depends on the frequency difference between the equal fundamental frequencies and a predetermined standard frequency. An indicator is provided, and a phase-difference detecting circuit arrangement causes the indicator to display an indication of said frequency difference.
