Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8001113A1] The clock comprises an analogue display, a quartz oscillator (1) and electronic frequency dividers (6, 7). The indicator elements are driven by a motor (SM) controlled electronically and comprising a working winding (87) and control winding (68). The control and setting circuit of the motor (SM) is provided so as to allow the adjustment of the rotation speed only at a speed higher than the rated rotation speed and, upon a frequency variation of the clock, to add correction signals to the control pulses of the working winding (87), said pulses having the shape of an alternating current, through a bistable flip-flop (50), to which are applied the pulses derived from the frequency dividers (6, 7) and the pulses derived from the motor (SM), a gate NO-AND (58) connected to an output of the flip-flop (50) and to another frequency divider (50), a field effect transistor (88) and a resistance (89). These correction signals increase the amplitude of the operating electrical signal proper to the working winding (87) and accelerate the motor (SM) at the set maximum rotation speed.
