Abstract
An electronic timepiece which produces a time tone based on a time code signal from a time code disk, comprising a control circuit for generating read-in signals in response to a start signal produced on the hour, memory circuit means for storing a time code signal from said time code disk in response to said read-in signals, wherein a stored code signal of said memory circuit means is supplied to a clock strike count control circuit as a signal for limiting the number of time tone strikes. Further, first and second memory circuit means are provided for storing the time code successively, and an AM/PM discriminating circuit is also provided for discriminating AM and PM by receiving said stored time codes of said first and second memory circuit means.
