Abstract

A timekeeper comprises a quartz crystal resonator having a stable frequency but with a relatively large tolerance, and a frequency divider with an adjustable divison ratio. Said divider has auxiliary electrical inputs the logical state of which determines the division ratio, and a memory, for example an electrically alterable electronic memory, supplies stored data to determine the logical state of the auxiliary inputs and hence the division ratio. The memory may comprise volatile and permanent parts, the permanent part intermittently regenerating data stored in the volatile part.
