Title: Electronic timepiece

Abstract: An electronic timepiece having a pulse generator producing a high frequency time standard signal, a divider circuit formed from a plurality of series-connected divider stages for producing low frequency timing signals in response to said time standard signal and a device for digitally displaying time in response to said timing signals, is provided with a correction circuit disposed in said divider circuit. The correction circuit allows a correction signal to be combined with a carry signal from a higher frequency divider stage to the next subsequent lower frequency divider stage to advance the pulse rate, thereby correcting the timing signals supplied to the device for digitally displaying time.
