Melodies are changed over sequentially in accordance with hours at each of which an alarm melody is to be played as a time signal so that predetermined melodies are always played at predetermined hours, respectively. In addition, even if the hours and the melodies become discordant with each other as a result, for example, of the correction of the time made during the timekeeping operation of the timepiece, the melodies are automatically reset at a predetermined time so as to be coincident with the corresponding hours.A switch S2 for detecting a correct hour is on-off controlled by a cam 6a provided as an integral part of a minute pipe 6 that makes one revolution per hour. A reset switch S3 is on-off controlled through a reset lever 5 pivoted by an hour wheel 4 that makes one revolution per twelve hours. An alarm control circuit in an IC 3 incorporates a plurality of melodies. In response to a correct hour signal supplied thereto, the alarm control circuit outputs the incorporated melodies sequentially and plays each melody through a speaker. When supplied with a reset signal, the alarm control circuit makes the alarm melody which is to be output next coincident with the first melody.

A time signalling device for a timepiece in which the time signalling sound can be obtained in the same signalling sound with the mechanical time signalling means in which the previously produced sound remains to mix with the next sound, and the time signalling sounds in accordance with the more mechanical time signalling means can be electronically produced with good quality by having musical scale signal outputting means which simultaneously provides two musical scale analog signals of the melody sounds with the basis of two kinds of musical data read out of the ROM, by composing in such a way that each of these two musical scale analog signals can be alternatively output from these musical scale signal outputting means, by attenuating each of the output musical note signals for longer while than the time when the next musical note is produced, and, for the time striking sounds, by simultaneously outputting these two musical scale signals to be mixed.

An electronic bell sound generating circuit for a timepiece for generating a sound simulating a bell sound produced by a motor driven bell-striking system. The circuit includes an audio frequency signal generating circuit, an optional number of attenuation-modulation circuits, an alarm trigger circuit, an attenuation control circuit and a sound generating circuit. The audio frequency generating circuit includes a reference signal generator and a frequency dividing circuit. The attenuation-modulation circuit includes MOS transistors connected in parallel and gate circuits connected to gates of the MOS transistors. The attenuation control circuit includes shift registers comprising flip-flops connected in series. The circuit works to stepwisely increase the combined on-operation resistance of the MOS transistors to thereby decrease the value of the current of audio frequency signals to the sound generating circuit in order to obtain an attenuated sound. When two or more attenuation-modulation circuits are provided, different audio frequencies are supplied to each respectively and the output signals from the respective attenuation-modulation circuits are superposed in the sound generating circuit. The time cycle for stepwise decrease of the current value of the audio frequency signals is set at 0.0625 seconds.
