Abstract

The present invention improves conventional quadribalanced displays, such as those employed in digital time displays for general purpose timekeeping. Increasing digital minutes are displayed on the right flank of centrally positioned digital present hours, in relatively upper and lower positions during the first and second quarter hours, followed by decreasing digital minutes displayed on the left flank of digital next hours, in relatively lower and upper positions during the third and fourth quarter hours. Markers are simultaneously displayed in one or more of the three quarter hour minute positions not containing digital minutes at any one time to inform the viewer that such marked positions are functional elements of the display but not activated as the current time is being displayed in another of said minute positions. A single displaceable crown control is also provided for facilitating the operation of a timepiece embodying such enhanced quadribalanced time displays and methods.
