Abstract:
With the conventional timepiece, when watching the timepiece at a casual glance, it has not been easy to comprehend the starting point of a physical quantity indicated at the present time by the timepiece, and the physical quantity at the present time. To solve the problem, a timepiece is provided, comprising; a dual-purpose scale, indicating time and a below-mentioned physical quantity; a driving unit for hand, driving a hand for pointing the dual-purpose scale according to time; an acquisition unit for physical quantity, acquiring information of the physical quantity from predetermined time designated as a starting point; and a driving unit for indicator of physical quantity, driving an indicator of physical quantity for indicating the acquired physical quantity on the dual-purpose scale, where a position on the dual-purpose scale pointed to by the hand at the predetermined time is designated as an original position for the physical quantity.
