    Abstract: A multiple display clock includes date and month timing units mounted on a clock body, and each including a needle, and a stepper motor to drive the needle. A controller is coupled to a digital display and the stepper motors of the date and month timing units, and includes a processor controlling a digital time counter to count a calendar time. The processor controls the digital display to display digital time information, and activates the stepper motors of the date and month timing units to drive the date and month needles for display of analog calendar time information. A main timing unit is disposed on the clock body and has a stepper motor that is used to drive minute and hour needles, and that is disconnected from the controller.
