Abstract
The timepiece includes a timekeeper displaying hours (4) and minutes (5), a receiver for radio broadcast messages capable of being read on a display (7) and a control arrangement (3) including a stem fitted into a crown (10). The stem-crown can be brought into three different axial positions, a first stable drawn-out position in which the timekeeper may be set to the time of day by rotation of the crown, a second stable neutral position in which received messages may be displayed one after the other by rotation of the crown and a third pushed-in unstable position in which the displayed message can be erased or protected.
