Abstract
An electronic timepiece is provided with a minute counter, an hour counter, a settable and resettable counter for storing an alarm time and a circuit for detecting the concidence between the stored alarm time and the contents of the minute and hour counters for developing a coinciding signal in response thereto and an alarm is produced in response to the coinciding signal. A first switch is switchable between a first and second state and a circuit is responsive to the coinciding signal for resetting the alarm time counter when the switch is in the first state and for maintaining the alarm counter in the set state when the switch is in the second state, whereby the timepiece can be selectively used in single alarm and repeat alarm modes.
