Title:
TIMEPIECE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/151944
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Based on whether or not light passes through a detection hole (305a) which is provided in a detection wheel (305) which rotates in conjunction with the rotation of a cannon pinion coupled to a motor, it is determined if the state is a bright state or a dark state each time the motor is driven by one step. A switching position (X) at which a dark state changes to a bright state is identified when a bright state determination is made after a dark state determination has been made, and the position one step after the identified switching position X is set as the reference position X+1 of the cannon pinion. As a result, after a movement is assembled, reference positions X+1 and X-1 can be set.
