摘要： The invention relates to an electric watch, wherein the rotor of a stepping motor is arranged between the metal frame and the plastic frame and is mounted in bearing holes of these frames or base plates. In accordance with the invention, the plastic frame has adjacent to the bearing hole of the rotor a partially cylindrical web extending substantially perpendicular to the metal frame and penetrating the air gap between the rotor and the stator of the stepping motor, while the stator with the associated coil is mounted on the outer side of the plastic frame. This construction enables assembly of the rotor without the effects of disturbing magnetic interaction between rotor and stator tending to dislocate the rotor.

摘要： In a wristwatch movement with a stepping motor with a rotor connected to drive a gear train which periodically advances the hands of the wristwatch, the stepping motor has a flat stator piece secured in a plastic movement frame. A coilcore assembly comprising a flat hook-shaped core plate having a straight core portion of uniform width with a coil inserted over the free hand of the core portion is secured to the stator so that opposite ends of the hook-shaped member overlap opposite ends the stator to complete a path for the magnetic flux. The hook-shaped coil core is placed on top of the stator during assembly and is held down by insulated clamping means such as a bridge or circuit board bolted to the frame at the time of final assembly. Preferably, the stator and coil core member are located with respect to one another by plastic studs integral with the frame extending through aligned holes in the stator and coil core. Some of the studs receive bolts which hold the clamping means to the frame.
