Claim Text:
1. An electronic timepiece comprising: a display section; a display control section that controls the display section; a reception section that receives a satellite signal containing time information and leap second information; a clock section that clocks internal time information; a timing section that controls the reception section to acquire the time information; a leap second acquisition section that controls the reception section to acquire the leap second information; a time correction section that corrects the internal time information by using the time information acquired by the timing section; and a leap second correction section that corrects the internal time information by using the leap second information acquired by the leap second acquisition section, wherein in a case where the operation of the timing section is followed by the operation of the leap second acquisition section, the time correction section corrects the internal time information by using the time information acquired by the timing section, and the display control section causes the display section to display, before the leap second acquisition section acquires the leap second information, time based on the internal time information corrected by the time correction section.
