Abstract
A calendar mechanism of a motor driven analog timepiece is automatically adjusted, at the end of a 30-day month to the first day of the next month. A month detecting circuit distinguishes between 30-day months and 31-day months, and at the end of the 30th day of a 30-day month it controls the timepiece motor to run backward and then forward at a relatively high speed to change the calendar to the first day of the month. Circuitry is also provided to distinguish between 28 and 29-day months, and to correct the date displayed at the end of February in a similar manner.
