Drive device, control method for a timekeeping device and a timing device

An electromagnetic generator, in combination with an electromagnetic motor, or even during the reception of the standard time signal with enabling an accurate time display, to simplify the circuit configuration. Power generation unit 1A converts kinetic energy into electrical energy by using electromagnetic induction. Secondary battery. 1C, store electrical energy converted by the power generation unit 1A. Time display mechanism 5, the piezoelectric actuator 41 to electric energy of the secondary battery 1C is supplied as a driving source, when information is displayed by a mechanical mechanism. Alternatively, the receiving circuit receives the time information in a predetermined cycle from the outside via the antenna, the timing unit sequentially updates the current time information the time corresponding to the time information received by the reception circuit section as a reference . The timing unit, a receiving operation and the parallel or independent driving source seconds driving piezoelectric actuators and hour-minute drive piezoelectric actuator in the receiving circuit section, on the basis of the current time information, when the information is displayed by a mechanical mechanism.
