Abstract
A solid state timepiece having a chain of series connected counters with clock pulses being applied to the first counter in the chain. A reset system is responsive to reset signals and is coupled to the counters for selective resetting of the counters upon application of predetermined reset signals. A decoder system independent of the resetting of the counters detects the state of the reset signals during a predetermined time duration and produces a control signal upon application of selected reset signal states. A control system provides internal control of the timepiece only upon application of the control signal.
