Abstract
The timepiece includes a time keeper in order to display hours and minutes by means of hands (4, 5) surmounting a dial (80) surrounded by a bezel (7) and a receiver capable of receiving messages for seeking persons issuing from at least two calling numbers. The calling numbers (81) are inscribed in plain language or in a coded form on the bezel and means are activated in order that, upon reception of a message, such is stored and the hands (4,5) cease their time-indicating function in order to come into position to show the calling number which emits the message by superposing themselves (4', 5') thereover.
