Abstract (en)

A wireless inductive pointer clock (1), in the form of a wristwatch, includes a wireless inductive receiver module (10) for receiving a time code, a control circuit module (20) electrically coupled to the wireless inductive receiver module (10) for receiving the time code and converting the time code into a pointer drive signal, a movement (30) electrically coupled to the control circuit module (20) for receiving the pointer drive signal and driving by the control circuit module (20) , and a pointer unit (40) including a plurality of pointers (41) drivable by the movement (30). The wireless inductive receiver module (10) can receive the time code (hour, minute, second) from a smart phone or tablet computer, enabling the control circuit module (20) to drive the movement (30) and the pointers (41) of the pointer unit (40) so that the time on the wireless inductive pointer clock can be automatically synchronized to the time on the smart phone or tablet.
