TIMEPIECE MOVEMENT AND TIMEPIECE
Provided are a timepiece movement and a timepiece allowing mounting of a wireless communication device in the timepiece and capable of avoiding generation of restrictions to the design of the timepiece. A movement is arranged on the inner side of a timepiece case having a case back, and drives indicator hands. The movement uses an electric wave from the outside as a power source and is equipped with an RFID tag communicating with an external reader.

Hybrid analog watch
An analog watch has a casing, a watch dial and a concentric shaft device having concentrically arranged shafts, wherein each shaft is driven by a corresponding stepper motor. An hour hand is connected to one shaft. A minute hand is connected to another shaft. A multi-function hand is connected to another shaft. A microcontroller outputs signals to control the stepper motors so as to control movement of the hour hand, minute hand and multi-function hand. A Bluetooth circuit receives signals from a Bluetooth communication device and feeds these signals to the microcontroller. The received signals define the date and time in a present time zone and a desired mode of operation of the analog watch that defines the function of the multi-function hand. The microcontroller uses the received signals to adjust the Real Time Clock and control the hour, minute and multi-function hands.

ELECTRONIC TIMEPIECE
An electronic timepiece that drives a function indicator and a calendar wheel with a single motor, and can return the function indicator to the reference position when the position of the function indicator shifts due to an external disturbance. The electronic timepiece has a function indicator for displaying information other than time; a driver that drives the function indicator; a display member that is driven in conjunction with the function indicator to display information based on time; an indicator position detector configured to detect the function indicator at an indicator position detection position; and a controller that controls the driver and the indicator position detector to execute a function indicator position detection process.

ANALOG ELECTRONIC WATCH SYSTEM AND ANALOG ELECTRONIC WATCH
In an analog electronic watch system, a terminal equipment detects current display positions of hands in an image of the hands and a dial plate, and generates current display time information based on the current display positions. An analog electronic watch corrects the display positions of the hands based on the display time information. The terminal equipment at least acquires hand identification information including hand shape information about a shape of the hand of the analog electronic watch based on watch identification information transmitted from the analog electronic watch. The terminal equipment detects the current display positions based on the hand identification information, and transmits display time information based on the current display positions to the analog electronic watch.
