Abstract
An electronic analog display timepiece provides multifunctions wherein the hand, or hands, is driven at different frequencies. To prevent erroneous performance of the step motor, an interval longer than the period of damped oscillation of the step motor is provided when the step motor driving frequency changes by synchronizing the lower frequency driving signals with the signal of the highest frequency of the circuit. Alternatively, one pulse of the second frequency signal is eliminated when switching from the first to the second frequency signal.
