Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0657792A1] The analogue electronic chronograph includes a first hand (10) making one revolution in one minute and controlled by a first control circuit (3) and a second hand (20) displaying and adding up the minutes and controlled by a second control circuit (4). When the chronograph is at a standstill, the second hand (20) continues to display the minutes whilst the first (10) is stopped in order to alert the user to the fact that the chronograph is operating and has not stopped. As a variant, it is proposed that the first hand 10 be used to add up the hours. <IMAGE>
