PURPOSE: To realize an electronic time piece capable of maximizing a high stability of a high frequency oscillation circuit with a low power consumption by supplying a high frequency oscillation signal to a high frequency switching circuit in an electronic time piece designed to obtain a reference time signal corrected by a high frequency signal.

CONSTITUTION: A correction circuit 6 obtains the sum of frequency between a front stage division signal f71 and an interrupt pulse signal f3 and outputs a correction signal f5. In a comparator circuit 3, a high frequency switching circuit 31 and a switching control circuit 32 of a phase comparator circuit 4 (41) samples a high frequency signal fH as a correction signal fed from an input terminal P1 at the rising of the front stage division signal f71 as a sampling signal fed from an input terminal P2 and a phase difference signal preparation circuit 33 outputs a phase difference signal f4. The frequency is expressed by the formula 4. When a frequency deviation is determined with respect to 1Hz of the reference time signal, using f3=f4/29, f71=fL/22 and fS=f6/213, the formula 5 is given. This demonstrates that correction can be done by the high frequency oscillation signal fH.
