Abstract

An adjusting mechanism is disclosed for adjusting a digital indicator of an electronic mechanism, such as a timepiece, which includes a first pulse generating mechanism for normally operating the digital display indicator. A second pulse generator includes a pulse former connected electrically to the digital indicator for supplying electrical adjusting pulses thereto. A sensor is operably connected to the pulse former to deliver activating signals thereto for the production of an adjusting pulse. A pulse control member is operably associated with the sensor to control the delivery of activating signals to the pulse former. Either the sensor or the pulse control member is rotatable relative to the other such that activating signals are generated in response to such relative rotation and are generated at a rate which is proportional to the rotational speed of the pulse control member.
