Multifunction timepiece

A multifunction timepiece having selectable functions comprising:

• a dial;
• a first motor driving a seconds hand, said seconds hand being capable of performing displacements and movements for identifying selected functions on the dial;
• a second motor driving other display elements;
• means for generating time base signals;
• electronic circuits for delivering the time base signals and control signals to said first and second motors, said second motor being directly controllable by said control signals;
• control elements for selecting the functions of the timepiece;
• first means for producing data representative of the position of the seconds hand on the dial;
• comparator means connected to said first means for producing data, the comparator means being capable of indicating equality between said data and a value of reference;
• memory means connected to said control elements and to said comparator means, for producing data concerning desired displacements and movements of said seconds hand in dependence on the selected functions of the timepiece;
• and
• logic means connected to the electronic circuits and receiving data from said memory means, for producing respective control signals of the first motor and of the means for producing data representative of the position of the seconds hand, such that the control signal produced in response to said time base signals cause said first motor and the seconds hand driven thereby to perform said displacements and movements for identifying said selected functions.
