Electronic timepiece and setting display method
An electronic timepiece includes: a bezel having location markers for indicating positions of the world; a second hand moving relative to the bezel; a memory storing time difference information in which each location marker is associated with information relating to a time zone to which a position indicated by each location marker belongs; and a controller performing operation control for moving the second hand relative to the bezel, and the bezel has a set exception indication position representing non-correspondence to any time zone associated with each location marker by being in a predetermined positional relationship with the second hand, and the controller causes the second hand and the exception indication position to be in the predetermined positional relationship when there is no location marker associated with a set time zone, during display relating to the set time zone for a date and time to be displayed.
Clock
A clock according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes: an hour hand part which includes a first hour hand for indicating time of a first country to be shown, and a second hour hand for indicating time of a second country to be shown; an hour hand plate which indicates times including a reference line for defining 12 am; a city name plate on which an international date line and city names are marked and which is rotated together with the first hour hand; and a date display part which displays two continuous dates based on the international date line, in which in the date display part, the date is changed as the international date line provided on the city name plate, which is rotated relative to the hour hand plate, passes over the reference line provided on the hour hand plate. The clock according to the present invention is configured as an analog-type dual clock required according to increase in overseas activity of people such as overseas travelers and people active in overseas business to present a new type for satisfying various tastes and consumption desires and also enable a user to easily recognize time and dates by showing different dates corresponding to local times of two countries.

DISPLAY OF A TIMEPIECE COMPRISING A MULTIPLE DISPLAY MODULE
The present invention relates to a display (10) of a timepiece, comprising a first indication (12) of a first time zone corresponding to the local time, a second indication (14) of the time of a second time zone and a day/night indicator (21) arranged to make one revolution in 24 hours. The day/night indicator (21) comprises a first and a second sector (22, 24) having a different visual appearance and representing day and night respectively. The display (10) further comprises a multiple display module (20) comprising at least a first indicator (26) arranged in a fixed manner in correspondence with the day/night indicator (21) and a second indicator (28) serving as a reference and arranged in correspondence with the day/night indicator (21) in order to indicate at a given instant whether it is day or night at the local time and at the time of the second time zone. The invention also relates to a timepiece comprising the display (10)

Wearable electronic device with hand synchronization
A wearable electronic device having an analog display and a digital display. The device may include a receiver for receiving, from a remote source, current time information data representative of a current time; a controller, operatively coupled to the receiver, wherein the controller processes the current time information data received from the remote source and provides for the current time information data to be displayed by the at least one digital indicator on the digital display as the current time; and a an analog time indicator rotating arrangement for causing the rotation of the at least one analog time indicator until the at least one analog time indicator is aligned with the at least one digital indicator; whereby the alignment of the at least one analog time indicator with the at least one digital indicator indicates that the at least one analog time indicator is synchronized with the correct time information.

Device for the display of periods forming an annual cycle
The invention relates to a device for the display of periods which, in succession, form an annual cycle, for a timepiece movement, comprising an indicator member for indicating said periods. It comprises at least a mechanism for controlling the duration of display of said periods including at least: a drive member for driving the indicator member arranged to drive the indicator member at the moment of a change in period, a cam controlling the duration of display of said periods, and means for driving the cam, a first differential gear with two inputs and one output, a first input being formed by a reference drive wheel, arranged to complete one revolution in one reference period, a second input being formed by an actuation member arranged to cooperate with said cam, and the output being formed by said drive member for the indicator member,
said cam comprising a profile arranged such that the actuation member cooperates with the first differential gear to move the drive member for the indicator member forwards or backwards, depending on the duration of the period displayed relative to the reference period.
