Abstract: An electronic timepiece has an oscillator whose frequency varies with temperature and whose output is fed through an adder to a time-count unit-signal former that divides this output and feeds it through a counter to a time display. A plurality of transistors are biased so as to switch between conductive and nonconductive states at different respective temperatures, this biasing being effected by means of one resistor or a string of series-connected resistors connected across a constant-voltage source. The transistors are connected to a converter which translates their changes of state into a coded digital signal which is combined with signals from the unit-signal former and fed to the adder to vary the oscillator output frequency in such a manner as to compensate for frequency variations caused by temperature change.
