Abstract: Lubricating apparatuses (10, 20, 30, 40) that support the axes of a stator guide (70) and a rotor (50) fit into an opening of a stator (60) are separate components and by fitting the stator guide (70) and lubricating apparatuses (10, 20, 30, 40) into the cylindrically shaped opening of a constant diameter disposed in a bottom plate (80), a bearing can be configured that aligns the central axis of the opening of the stator (60) and the rotational axis of the rotor (50) with high precision. Additionally, the structure of the lubricating apparatus (10, 20, 30, 40) is simplified and configures an electronic timepiece that can use the bearing-less stator (60).

Abstract: A radio-controlled timepiece in which its reception sensitivity is further enhanced. The radio-controlled timepiece includes: an antenna core 11 made of a magnetic material and formed as a single integrated body including a coiled portion (11a) wound with a coil 19 and extension portions 11b and 11c which are located respectively on the end-portion sides; additional cores 15 and 16 made of a magnetic material; magnetism-collection members 17 and 18 made of a magnetic material; a main plate 31 (timepiece substrate) made of a non-magnetic material; a guide member 33 made of a non-magnetic material; and a liquid-crystal-panel supporting frame 32 (magnetism-collection-member supporting members, pressing member) made of a non-magnetic material and having protrusions 32a and 32b (pressing members) formed thereon. When the main plate 31, the guide member 33, and the liquid-crystal-panel supporting frame 32 are assembled together, the protrusions 32a and 32b press the magnetism-collection members, respectively.
