Abstract (en)
An electronic timepiece with indicator hands having a function of restricting a reciprocal movement range of the indicator hands is utilized to realize a variety of indications, which comprises: time hands (101, 102) for showing time; first and second indicator hands (103, 104) provided separately from the time hands (101, 102); a motor (200) for alternately performing forward rotation and reverse rotation by a predetermined amount; a wheel train for reciprocally rotating the first and second indicator hands (103, 104) in directions opposite from each other within a predetermined range; a support part supporting a wheel constituting the train wheel; and restricting means for restricting the range of rotation of a wheel (211) included in the train wheel to thereby restrict rotation of the indicator hands (103, 104) within a predetermined restriction range; wherein the support part is formed with a space (230) for arranging another wheel (229) such that the other wheel (229) can be arranged in the train wheel in place of the wheel (211) to be restricted in rotation range by the restricting means. <IMAGE>
