Electronic clock apparatus

An electronic clock apparatus comprising:

• a source of standard clock signals;
• a time counting device counting said standard clock signals and generating hour, minute and second signals;
• 12 first indicating elements each of which has a pair of electrodes and which are divided into six groups, each group being constituted by two elements, and arranged in a closed loop so as to be responsive to an hour signal from the time counting device;
• 60 second indicating elements each of which has a pair of electrodes and which are divided into six groups each constituted by ten elements and arranged in a closed loop so as to indicate both minutes and seconds in response to a minute signal and a second signal from the time counting device;
• six first connecting means connecting one of the electrodes of each first indicating element of each group to one of the electrodes of each second indicating element of the respective group, thus forming six units each consisting of two first indicating elements and 10 second indicating elements;
• 12 second connecting means each connecting the other electrodes of the first and second indicating elements of each unit to the corresponding other electrodes of the first and second indicating elements of the other units;
• and
• a time division control means coupled to the time counting device for selectively supplying in a time division fashion the hour, minute and second signals from the time counting device to the corresponding first and second indicating elements via the first and second connecting means.
