Abstract
A module which enables slimming down and a timepiece provided with the module are provided. The timepiece module includes a timepiece movement which is a driving section that moves pointers, and a liquid crystal display panel which has an opening section where the timepiece movement is arranged, and is arranged in parallel with the timepiece movement. Since the timepiece movement is arranged in the opening section of the liquid crystal display panel and positioned in parallel with the liquid crystal display panel, the timepiece movement and the liquid crystal display panels do not vertically overlap with each other, whereby the slimming down of the entire timepiece module can be achieved, which enables the slimming down of the entire wristwatch.
