To correct deviation of a prescribed operating range in a timepiece provided with a hand reciprocating within the operating range.

A CPU quickly rotates a display needle to an initial position side by outputting reverse rotation pulses by a prescribed number to a step motor by prescribed timing (step S104) and corrects the initial position by newly recognizing the position. When a normal rotation pulse is outputted next time, rotational force is generated in a normal rotation direction in the step motor and reciprocating motion is started from the position.
