Abstract (en)
[origin: US4860268A] An autonomous radio timepiece having a time equalizing processor to control and potentially correct the instantaneous time indication on the basis of the prevailing time information received by radio transmission, is equipped with an improved device for temporarily interrupting operation of the time indication. Such a device is provided for the purpose of interrupting the display function of the radio timepiece without deactivating the other auxiliary and operating functions of the radio timepiece, so that following termination of the interruption, normal operation continues without any interference. The display may be interrupted indirectly or directly. In the first case the reset inlet of the time equalizing processor is actuated to trigger the synchronizing process, which otherwise takes place upon the actuation of the radio timepiece. In the other case, the actuation of the display indexing device is electrically blocked in order to temporarily retain a predefined, just attained position of the gear (for example, to provide sufficient time to mount the hands of the display device during assembly of the radio timepiece).
