Electronic timepiece

An electronic timpiece having a mechanical analog time-display with hour, minute and second hands, said minute hand rotating about an axis, said electronic timepiece comprising:

• a case;
• a circuit chip disposed in said case at a peripheral portion thereof;
• a crystal oscillator disposed at a peripheral portion of the case and adjacent said circuit chip;
• first and second motors disposed in said case adjacent said circuit chip at opposite sides thereof;
• a first gear train disposed between said first motor and said minute and hour hands for driving said minute and hour hands;
• a second gear train disposed between said second motor and said second hand for driving said second hand;
• supporting plates for supporting said first and second gear trains;
• an indicator hand;
• a third gear train for driving said indicator hand;
• said second motor, circuit chip and first gear train being disposed to form a space therebetween to enable positioning of said third gear train therein to facilitate driving of said indicator;
• a part of said supporting plates being extended into said space for supporting said indicator hand and third gear train;
• stem axially shiftably provided in said case adjacent said gear trains;
• a lever assembly disposed in said case adjacent the gear trains and operatively connected to the stem for changing the operational state of the timepiece;
• and
• a battery disposed in said case between said lever assembly and one of said motors.
