Abstract:
1. A radio controlled timepiece comprising: a clocking unit configured to clock a time; a display unit configured to display a time based on clock information from the clocking unit; a receiving unit configured to receive standard radio waves from transmitting stations in at least two countries or regions; a second-synchronization detecting unit configured to detect second-synchronization information from a demodulated signal obtained by the receiving unit, wherein the second-synchronization detecting unit includes: a transmitting station determining unit configured to analyze the demodulated signal based on the second-synchronization information to determine a transmitting station in a country or a region; and a decoding unit configured to decode information included in the standard radio wave from the transmitting station determined by the transmitting station determining unit to obtain time information, wherein the clock information of the clocking unit is corrected based on the time information obtained by the decoding unit.
