Abstract
Rate change in a quartz crystal timepiece due, for example, to aging of a capacitance used for correcting the frequency-temperature characteristic of the crystal oscillator of the timepiece, is corrected by dividing the oscillator output signal to provide a minimum rate adjustment unit signal and a rate adjustment timing signal. A rate adjustment step width signal consisting of a number of minumum rate adjustment unit signals is predetermined for all of the timepieces in a production run. The number controls the repeated counting of unit signals to produce a series of step width signals. The rate adjustment required for correct timekeeping is determined as an integral number of step width signals. The latter number is set into a second counter in the timepiece to generate a rate adjustment signal. The rate adjustment signal controls the duty cycle of a switch which adds reactance to the crystal oscillator circuit to effect the rate change.
