Abstract

Indication adjusting system for watch has correction unit so that 12 hour indication is manually adjustable relative to the second 24 hour indication. The second hour indication is a 24 hour indication and is rotationally drivable in a direct drive line from the basic mechanism of the watch with a revolution per 24 hours, and from a gear of the direct drive line, driven with a revolution per 12 hours across a positively locked connection. A 12 hour drive line is rotationally drivable, for the operation of the 12 hour indicator. So that using a manually operable adjusting element, separately from each other. Either the direct drive line or with the overcoming of the positively locked connection, the 12 hour drive line is adjusted relative to the direct drive line.
