Timepiece with analog and electronics displays

Abstract

Disclosed is an analog electronic timepiece having a case with a case interior and a plurality of hands driven to rotate about an axis to trace rotary paths, whereby rotation of the hands displays a time. A shutter overlies at least part of the rotary paths and is moveable between open positions in which the shutter reveals the at least part of the rotary paths and a closed position in which the shutter hides the at least part of the rotary paths. A drive mechanism in the case interior drives the shutter between the closed position and the open positions. An electro-optical display is operatively coupled to a control circuit, where the electro-optical display overlies the shutter and is operable by the control circuit between a transparent state in which the electro-optical display is transparent and a display state in which the electro-optical display shows an image.
