Abstract
An electronic watch comprising a device for controlling and driving the day of the month disc, wherein the wheel train supplies the energy necessary for moving the day of the month disc, but does not determine the instant of the jump, which may be initiated at any moment by an electrical signal, independently of the position of the wheel train. The device comprises a mechanism driven by the wheel train and arranged so as to disengage when the moving bodies of the wheel train, controlling the display, turn continuously in clockwise direction and to re-engage when said moving bodies turn in anti-clockwise direction. A control circuit determines, in a portion of the driving cycle in an anti-clockwise direction of rotation with a rapid rate, the jump of the display disc of the day of the month mechanism.
