Timepiece
An analog electronic timepiece is an analog electronic watch capable of displaying a plurality of types of calendar information, and includes a first index adapted to indicate the type of the calendar information, and a second index adapted to indicate a value of the calendar information of the type indicated by the first index.
ELECTRONIC TIMEPIECE AND INDICATION CONTROL METHOD
An electronic timepiece includes: a first indicator and a second indicator that are configured to rotate in combination with each other; an operation receiver; and at least one processor. The processor sets a set position that is to be indicated by the second indicator according to an input operation received by the operation receiver. The processor causes the second indicator to temporarily stop rotating at a timing when the second indicator indicates the set position while the first indicator is rotating.
TIMEPIECE DISPLAY MECHANISM WITH AN INSTANTANEOUS JUMP FUNCTION
A timepiece display mechanism with an instantaneous jump function, including a Maltese cross mechanism with an annular ring controlling, in part of its travel, the pivoting of a planet wheel set and driven by a timepiece movement via a cam wheel set arranged to move the annular ring from an activated position to a deactivated position in an instantaneous displacement in order to pivot a planet wheel set, and vice versa in a controlled return slower than the instantaneous displacement, the cam wheel set includes a coaxial cam and plate including a slot for driving an eccentric finger of the cam which controls the pivoting of a driver driving the annular ring between two extreme activation and deactivation positions, the slot allowing a clear jump of the driver in the deactivation position, and a longer reactivation time.

Electronic timepiece and indication control method
An electronic timepiece includes: a first indicator and a second indicator that are configured to rotate in combination with each other; an operation receiver; and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to set a set position that is to be indicated by the second indicator in response to an input operation received by the operation receiver. The at least one processor is configured to cause the first indicator and the second indicator to temporarily stop rotating in combination with each other at a timing when the second indicator indicates the set position, and cause the first indicator and the second indicator to resume rotating in combination with each other after a set time passes.
