Electronic timepiece apparatus

An electronic timepiece comprising:

• an oscillator for generating standard clock pulses;
• electronic time counting means coupled to the oscillator for frequency-dividing and counting the clock pulses from the oscillator;
• display means coupled to the electronic time counting means for indicating the time in accordance with a signal from the electronic time counting means;
• memory means for storing an amount of correction by which to correct the error in the frequency of the standard clock pulses from the oscillator;
• control means coupled to the electronic time counting means for adjusting the counting period of the electronic time counting means as a function of the amount of correction stored in the memory means;
• actuating switch means for correcting the time;
• time correction control means coupled to the actuating switch means for changing the time upon operation of the actuating switch means;
• time period counting means for counting the time period between a time-correcting operation initiated by the actuating switch means and the immediately preceding time-correcting operation;
• means for obtaining an amount of correction for a unit length of time based on the count value of the time period counting means and the period of time by which the time has been changed by the correction control means;
• and
• means for changing the amount of correction stored in the memory means as a function of the obtained amount of correction for a unit length of time.
