Abstract
A multi-functional timepiece comprises a base, a wheel train mounted on the base for rotation, a cam member rotationally driven by the wheel train about a rotational center, and a rotary member mounted to undergo angular displacement in opposite directions. A display member is integrally connected to the rotary member for angular displacement therewith to display time or date information. An interconnecting member interconnects the cam member to the rotary member such that rotational motion of the cam member effects angular displacement of the rotary member in the opposite directions.
