An electronic timepiece including a phase circuit for advancing and/or delaying the phase of the frequency signals to thereby regulate the frequency thereof is provided. The electronic timepiece includes an oscillator for producing a high frequency time standard signal and a divider circuit having a series-connected chain of frequency divider stages, at least one of the divider stages in response to the application of the high frequency time standard signal to the divider circuit producing a timekeeping signal. A display is adapted to display time in response to said timekeeping signal applied thereto. The phase changing circuit is series-connected in the series-connected divider chain to thereby apply an intermediate frequency signal from the divider stage just prior thereto to the next divider stage. Additionally, the phase changing circuit is adapted to selectively change the phase of the intermediate frequency signal applied to the next divider stage to effect an adjustment of the frequency of the timekeeping signal produced by the divider circuit.

An electronic timepiece having a main oscillator circuit including a first quartz crystal vibrator as a time standard and also having a secondary oscillator circuit including a further quartz crystal vibrator as a time standard for reducing the affect of temperature on the accuracy of the timepiece by utilizing the different temperature characteristics of the respective time standards is provided. The main oscillator circuit produces a high frequency time standard signal having a first frequency rate that is determined, at least in part, by the temperature characteristic of the first time standard, which characteristic includes an inflection peak at a specific temperature. The second oscillator circuit produces a second high frequency time standard signal having a second predetermined frequency, determined, at least in part, by the temperature characteristic of the second time standard being distinct from that of the first time standard. Phase detection circuitry is provided for producing a phase detection signal in response to detecting a predetermined frequency difference in phase between the first and second high frequency time standard signals when the temperature is 10.degree. higher or lower than the specific temperature at which the first time standard has its inflection peak. A display is provided for displaying actual time in response to receiving a low frequency time signal produced by divider circuitry. A frequency adjustment circuit is coupled intermediate the phase detection circuitry and the divider circuitry for adjusting the frequency of the low frequency time signal produced by the divider circuitry when a phase detection signal is applied thereto.
