Abstract: A small-sized electronic wristwatch assembly, wherein a support plate is constructed and arranged to position the operative elements of the wristwatch to reduce the size thereof is provided. The electrical components of the wristwatch include a battery, a quartz crystal oscillator coupled to the battery for producing a high frequency time standard signal, a divider circuit coupled to the oscillator for dividing the high frequency time standard signal and producing a low frequency timekeeping signal, and an electro-mechanical transducer for receiving the low frequency timekeeping signal and in response thereto being continuously incrementally rotated. The mechanical components of the wristwatch include a center wheel and a gear train disposed intermediate the electro-mechanical transducer and the center wheel for transmitting to the center wheel a predetermined amount of rotation in response to each incremental rotation of the electro-mechanical transducer. Each of the operative components are disposed on a support plate, particularly configured to miniaturize the timepiece without affecting the operation and reliability thereof.
