     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
     First Embodiment 
     Hereinafter, a first embodiment where the present invention has been applied in a pointer type wristwatch will be described with reference to  FIG. 1  to  FIG. 6 . 
     This wristwatch includes a wristwatch case  1  as shown in  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 2 , and a watch glass  2  is attached to the upper opening portion of this wristwatch case  1  via a packing  2   a . The lower portion of this wristwatch case  1  has a rear lid  3  attached thereto. 
     On the six o&#39;clock side and the twelve o&#39;clock side of the outside surface of this wristwatch case  1 , band attaching sections  4  are provided, respectively, as shown in  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 2 . Also, this wristwatch case  1  has a crown  5  provided on its side surface on the three o&#39;clock side and push-button switches  6  provided on its side surfaces on the two o&#39;clock side, the four o&#39;clock side, and the eight o&#39;clock side, respectively. 
     Inside this wristwatch case  1 , a timepiece module  7  is mounted as shown in  FIG. 2 , and a dial plate  8  is arranged above the timepiece module  7  via a solar panel  9 . On the upper side of the peripheral portion of this dial plate  8 , a ring-shaped parting member  10  is provided. 
     The timepiece module  7  includes an upper housing  11  and a lower housing  12 , and a circuit board  13  is arranged between the upper housing  11  and the lower housing  12 , as shown in  FIG. 2 . In this embodiment, a timepiece movement  14 , a first antenna  15 , and a second antenna  16  are mounted in the upper housing  11 , and a button battery  17  is provided in the lower housing  12 . 
     The timepiece movement  14  has a pointer shaft  19  inserted into a through hole  18  provided in the center portions of the dial plate  8  and the solar panel  9 , as shown in  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 2 . In this embodiment, pointers  20  made of a metallic material, such as an hour hand, a minute hand, and a second pointer, are attached to the top end of the pointer shaft  19 . As a result, the timepiece movement  14  is structured to move the pointers  20  above the dial plate  8  by rotating the pointer shaft  19 , and thereby indicate and display the time. 
     Also, the timepiece movement  14  is structured to move a first short pointer  21   a  of a first sub-display section  21  made of a metallic material, two second short pointers  22   a  and  22   b  of a second sub-display section  22  made of a metallic material, and a third short pointer  23   a  of a third sub-display section  23  made of a metallic material, respectively, above the dial plate  8 , as shown in  FIG. 1  to  FIG. 3 ; and to rotate a date wheel  24  below the dial plate  8 , as shown in  FIG. 2  and  FIG. 4 . 
     In this embodiment, the first sub-display section  21 , which displays the mode of a clock function or the temperature or humidity of external environment, includes the first short pointer  21   a , as shown in  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 3 . This first sub-display section  21  is arranged in an area between the through hole  18  in the center of the dial plate  8  and an end portion of the dial plate  8  on the three o&#39;clock side. The rotation range of the first short pointer  21   a  of the first sub-display section  21  is set to a predetermined angle range, such as an angle range of about 180 to 300 degrees. In this first embodiment, the rotation range is set to an angle range of around 250 degrees. 
     Also, the second sub-display section  22 , which displays the time of each city in the world, includes the two second short pointers  22   a  and  22   b , as shown in  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 3 . This second sub-display section  22  is arranged in an area between the through hole  18  in the center of the dial plate  8  and an end portion of the dial plate  8  on the eight o&#39;clock side. In addition, this second sub-display section  22  is structured such that the two second short pointers  22   a  and  22   b  move in conjunction with each other by a wheel train mechanism and rotate by 360 degrees. 
     Moreover, the third sub-display section  23 , which displays a time such as the time of an alarm or a timer, includes the third short pointer  23   a , as shown in  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 3 . This third sub-display section  23  is arranged in an area between the through hole  18  in the center of the dial plate  8  and an end portion of the dial plate  8  on the ten o&#39;clock side, and the third short pointer  23   a  thereof rotates by 360 degrees. 
     The date wheel  24  is formed into a ring shape, and the dates  1  to  31  are drawn on its upper surface such that one of the dates corresponds to a date window  8   a  on the four o&#39;clock side of the dial plate  8 , as shown in  FIG. 4 . That is, the date wheel  24  is rotatably arranged above the peripheral portion of the upper surface of the upper housing  11 , as shown in  FIG. 2  and  FIG. 4 . In this embodiment, the upper surface of the date wheel  24  is held by an anti-magnetic plate  35  so that the date wheel  24  is rotatably held above the upper housing  11 . 
     This anti-magnetic plate  35  is to prevent the timepiece movement  14  from being affected by an external magnetic field. One end portion of the anti-magnetic plate  35  is attached to a portion of the upper housing  11  on the two o&#39;clock side and the other end portion thereof is attached to a portion of the upper housing  11  on the eight o&#39;clock side, as shown in  FIG. 4 . That is, the anti-magnetic plate  35  is arranged above the date wheel  24  such that the upper sides of the first antenna  15  and the second antenna  16  are not covered thereby. As a result, the date wheel  24  is structured to be driven and rotated by a predetermined angle once a day by the timepiece movement  14 , whereby a date displayed corresponding to the date window  8   a  is switched. 
     The first antenna  15  is a patch antenna that receives a high-frequency radio wave for GPS (for example, a radio wave of 1575.42 MHz), and the second antenna  16  is a bar antenna that receives a standard time radio wave that is a long wave (for example, a radio wave of 40 to 77.5 kHz). These first antenna  15  and second antenna  16  are arranged in end portions of the timepiece module  7  opposing each other, as shown in  FIG. 1  to  FIG. 3 . 
     That is, the first antenna  15  and the second antenna  16  are arranged opposing each other within an angle range of about 100 degrees formed by the end portions of a straight line S 1  connecting the twelve o&#39;clock point and the six o&#39;clock point being rotated centering on the middle point of the straight line S 1  by about 50 degrees toward the sides, as shown in  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 3 . In this embodiment, the first antenna  15  is arranged in an area located from around the four o&#39;clock portion of the timepiece module  7  to substantially the six o&#39;clock portion via the five o&#39;clock portion. 
     That is, the first antenna  15  is arranged corresponding to a long side of a triangle connecting the central portions of the sub-display sections  21  to  23  in a manner not to be affected by the sub-display sections  21  to  23  as much as possible. Also, the second antenna  16  is arranged in an area located from around the ten o&#39;clock portion of the timepiece module  7  to substantially the twelve o&#39;clock portion via the eleven o&#39;clock portion. 
     In this embodiment, the first antenna  15  is arranged in an area between the through hole  18  in the center of the dial plate  8  and an end portion of the dial plate  8  on the five o&#39;clock side, as shown in  FIG. 1  to  FIG. 3 . That is, the first antenna  15  is provided such that its center portion is positioned on a straight line S 2  that intersects with the straight line S 1 , which is connecting the twelve o&#39;clock portion and the six o&#39;clock portion of the dial plate  8 , at the center of the dial plate  8  at an angle of about 25 degrees in the counter clockwise direction. 
     Also, the first antenna  15  is structured such that its antenna field has a substantially square shape; its side portion on the outer periphery side of the timepiece module  7  is positioned between an area around the four o&#39;clock point and an area around the six o&#39;clock point; one corner  15   a  of corners  15   a  and  15   b  at the sides of its side portion near the through hole  18  in the center of the timepiece module  7  projects into and overlaps with the area of the first sub-display section  21 ; and the other corner  15   b  is positioned close to or slightly projects into and overlaps with the area of the second sub-display section  22 , as shown in  FIG. 1  to  FIG. 3 . 
     In this embodiment, the first antenna  15  is structured such that, although one corner  15   a  of the corners  15   a  and  15   b  of the side portion near the through hole  18  in the center of the timepiece module  7  projects significantly into the area of the first sub-display section  21 , the first short pointer  21   a  of the first sub-display section  21  is not moved or stopped above the first antenna  15 , as shown in  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 3 . As a result, the first antenna  15  is structured such that the effect of the first short pointer  21   a  on reception performance when a high-frequency radio wave for GPS is received can be reduced. 
     That is, the rotation range of the first short pointer  21   a  is set to a predetermined angle range, such as an angle range of about 250 degrees, and a portion of the first sub-display section  21  that is not within this range overlaps with the area of the first antenna  15 . As a result of this structure, the reception performance of the first antenna  15  when receiving a high-frequency radio wave for GPS is not degraded by the first short pointer  21   a.    
     In addition, since the first antenna  15  is arranged such that the other corner  15   b  of the corners  15   a  and  15   b  of the side portion near the through hole  18  in the center of the timepiece module  7  is positioned close to or projects slightly into the area of the second sub-display section  22  as shown in  FIG. 1  to  FIG. 3 , the reception performance of the first antenna  15  when receiving a high-frequency radio wave for GPS is hardly affected by the second short pointers  22   a  and  22   b.    
     The second antenna  16  is arranged corresponding to an outer peripheral portion of the dial plate  8  on the eleven o&#39;clock side which is located opposite to the first antenna  15 , as shown in  FIG. 1  to  FIG. 3 . Specifically, this second antenna  16  is an elongated bar antenna having a coil wound on the core, and its center is positioned on the straight diagonal line S 2  passing through the center line of the first antenna  15 . 
     In this embodiment, the second antenna  16  is provided in the upper housing  11  along the outer periphery of the dial plate  8  with its one end portion corresponding to the twelve o&#39;clock portion of the dial plate  8  and the other end portion corresponding to the ten o&#39;clock portion of the dial plate  8 , as shown in  FIG. 1  to  FIG. 3 . As a result, the second antenna  16  is arranged such that the third sub-display section  23  does not overlap therewith, whereby the reception performance of the second antenna  16  when receiving a long wave such as a standard time radio wave is not affected by the third short pointer  23   a  of the third sub-display section  23 . 
     The solar panel  9  arranged between the timepiece module  7  and the dial plate  8  receives extraneous light and generates electricity. This solar panel  9  has an outer shape that is almost the same as that of the dial plate  8 , and includes a plurality of cells  9   a  having the same light-receiving areas and arranged substantially radially, as shown in  FIG. 5 . 
     Specifically, the plurality of cells  9   a  are each structured such that a lower electrode made of metal such as aluminum is provided on a film substrate, a semiconductor layer such as amorphous silicon (a-Si) is provided on this lower electrode, and a transparent upper electrode such as ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) is provided on this semiconductor layer. By these lower electrodes and upper electrodes being respectively connected, the plurality of cells  9   a  are connected in series. 
     In the center of the solar panel  9 , the through hole  18  is provided into which the pointer shaft  19  is inserted, as shown in  FIG. 5 . In addition, the solar panel  9  has through holes  25  into which the shaft (not shown) of the first short pointer  21   a  of the first sub-display section  21 , the shafts (not shown) of the second short pointers  22   a  and  22   b  of the second sub-display section  22 , and the shaft (not shown) of the third short pointer  21   a  of the third sub-display section  23  are inserted, respectively. 
     In this embodiment, the lower electrodes and the upper electrodes of the plurality of cells  9   a  of the solar panel  9  are made of metal, which may degrade the reception performance of the first antenna  15  and the second antenna  16 . Therefore, in this solar panel  9 , a first non-power-generation section  26  is provided in an area corresponding to the first antenna  15 , and a second non-power-generation section  27  is provided in an area corresponding to the second antenna  16 , as shown in  FIG. 5 . 
     Specifically, the first non-power-generation section  26  is formed by an area corresponding to the first antenna  15  being cut off to form a square field that does not receive extraneous light, as shown in  FIG. 5 . Also, the second non-power-generation section  27  is formed by an area corresponding to the second antenna  16  being cut off to form a substantially ark-shaped field that does not receive extraneous light. 
     As a result, height differences occur at a boundary between a portion of the solar panel  9  around the first non-power-generation section  26  and the first antenna  15  and a boundary between a portion of the solar panel  9  around the second non-power-generation section  27  and the second antenna  16 . Accordingly, the dial plate  8  has a stripe pattern  28  so as to hide the height differences at these boundaries, as shown in  FIG. 6 . That is, the dial plate  8  is constituted by a transparent or translucent resin sheet having the stripe pattern  28  formed on its surface. 
     This stripe pattern  28  of the dial plate  8  is formed by a pattern of a number of thin lines tilted at a predetermined angle with respect to the boundary between the first non-power-generation section  26  and the solar panel  9  and the boundary between the second non-power-generation section  27  and the solar panel  9  being provided. In this embodiment, these thin lines are straight lines that intersect with the straight line S 2  connecting the center of the first antenna  15  and the center of the second antenna  16 , such as straight lines parallel to the straight line S 1  connecting the twelve o&#39;clock portion and the six o&#39;clock portion of the dial plate  8 . 
     As a result, the stripe pattern  28  of the dial plate  8  is formed such that the height differences at the boundary between a portion of the solar panel  9  around the first non-power-generation section  26  and the first antenna  15  and the boundary between a portion of the solar panel  9  around the second non-power-generation section  27  and the second antenna  16  do not draw attention. Note that the dial plate  8  is structured such that, although the stripe pattern  28  is provided on the surface thereof, extraneous light penetrates the stripe pattern  28  and irradiates the solar panel  9 . 
     Next, the operation of this wristwatch is described. 
     When the wristwatch worn on a wrist is to be used, the six o&#39;clock side of the wristwatch case  1  is positioned on the user&#39;s body side, and the twelve o&#39;clock side thereof is positioned on the side opposite to the user&#39;s body side. As a result, the twelve o&#39;clock side of the wristwatch case  1  is positioned away from the user&#39;s body and exposed. 
     In this state, when a high-frequency radio wave for GPS is to be received by the first antenna  15 , this radio wave comes into the wristwatch from ahead of the user&#39;s body toward the first antenna  15 . Here, although there is the solar panel  9  between the timepiece module  7  and the dial plate  8 , the high-frequency radio wave for GPS is transmitted to the first antenna  15  through the first non-power-generation section  26  provided in the solar panel  9 . As a result, the high-frequency radio wave for GPS is received by the first antenna  15 . 
     In this embodiment, although one corner  15   a  of the corners  15   a  and  15   b  at the sides of the side portion of the first antenna  15  near the through hole  18  in the center of the timepiece module  7  has projected into and overlapped with the area of the first sub-display section  21 , the first short pointer  21   a  of the first sub-display section  21  does not move above the area of the first antenna  15 , and therefore the effect of the first short pointer  21   a  on the reception performance of the first antenna  15  is reduced. 
     That is, since the rotation range of the first short pointer  21   a  of the first sub-display section  21  has been set to a predetermined angle range such as an angle range of about 250 degrees as shown in  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 3 , the first short pointer  21   a  does not move above the area of the first antenna  15  although a portion of the first sub-display section  21  has overlapped with the area of the first antenna  15 . Therefore, the reception performance of the first antenna  15  is not degraded by the first short pointer  21   a  of the first sub-display section  21 , so that the high-frequency radio wave for GPS is favorably received by the first antenna  15 . 
     In addition, although the other corner  15   b  of the corners  15   a  and  15   b  of the side portion of the first antenna  15  near the through hole  18  in the center of the timepiece module  7  has been arranged close to or has slightly projected into and overlapped with the area of the second sub-display section  22  as shown in  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 3 , the reception performance of the first antenna  15  is hardly affected by the two second short pointers  22   a  and  22   b . Therefore, the high-frequency radio wave for GPS is favorably received by the first antenna  15 . 
     On the other hand, when a standard time radio wave, which is a long wave, is to be received by the second antenna  16 , this radio wave comes into the wristwatch from ahead of the user&#39;s body toward the second antenna  16 . In this case as well, although there is the solar panel  9  between the timepiece module  7  and the dial plate  8 , the standard time radio wave, which is a long wave, is transmitted to the second antenna  16  through the second non-power-generation section  27  provided in the solar panel  9 . 
     Accordingly, the standard time radio wave, which is a long wave, is favorably received by the second antenna  16 . In this embodiment, since the second antenna  16  has been arranged such that the third sub-display section  23  does not overlap therewith, the reception performance of the second antenna  16  is hardly affected by the third short pointer  23   a  of the third sub-display section  23 . As a result of this structure, long waves, such as standard time radio waves, are favorably received by the second antenna  16 . 
     Also, regardless of whether the first antenna  15  and the second antenna  16  are receiving two types of radio waves having different wavelengths as described above, extraneous light, such as sunlight, is received in the wristwatch case  1  through the watch glass  2 , penetrates the dial plate  8 , and irradiates the solar panel  9 . Then, the extraneous light irradiated onto the solar panel  9  is received by the plurality of cells  9   a  of the solar panel  9 , and the plurality of cells  9   a  generate electricity, respectively. This generated electric power is supplied to the circuit board  13  in the timepiece module  7 , whereby the wristwatch is charged. 
     In this embodiment, although the height differences occur at the boundary between a portion of the solar panel  9  around the first non-power-generation section  26  and the first antenna  15  and the boundary between a portion of the solar panel  9  around the second non-power-generation section  27  and the second antenna  16 , these height differences can be hidden by the stripe pattern  28  of the dial plate  8  so as not to draw attention. 
     That is, since the stripe pattern  28  of the dial plate  8  has been formed by a pattern of a number of thin lines tilted at a predetermined angle with respect to the boundary between the first non-power-generation section  26  and the solar panel  9  and the boundary between the second non-power-generation section  27  and the solar panel  9  being provided, these thin lines of the stripe pattern  28  intersect with the straight line S 2  connecting the center of the first antenna  15  and the center of the second antenna  16 , whereby the height differences do not draw attention. 
     As described above, this wrist watch includes the wristwatch case  1  provided with the watch glass  2 , the dial plate  8  provided in the wristwatch case  1 , and the timepiece module  7  arranged below the dial plate  8 , and the timepiece module  7  has the first antenna  15  arranged in its one end portion so as to receive a high-frequency radio wave for GPS and the second antenna  16  arranged in the other end portion opposing the first antenna  15  so as to receive a radio wave whose frequency differs from that of the high-frequency radio wave for GPS, such as a standard time radio wave that is a long wave. As a result of this structure, radio waves having different frequencies can be favorably received. 
     That is, with this wristwatch, a high-frequency radio wave for GPS can be received by the first antenna  15  arranged in one end portion of the timepiece module  7 , and a standard time radio wave which is a long wave and has a frequency differing from that of the high-frequency radio wave for GPS can be received by the second antenna  16  arranged in the other end portion of the timepiece module  7  opposing the first antenna  15 . In other words, radio waves having different frequencies can be unfailingly and favorably received by the first antenna  15  and the second antenna  16 . 
     In this embodiment, the first antenna  15  and the second antenna  16  have been arranged opposing each other within an angle range of about 100 degrees formed by the straight line S 1  connecting the twelve o&#39;clock point and the six o&#39;clock point being rotated, as shown in  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 3 . Accordingly, if the six o&#39;clock side of the wristwatch case  1  is positioned on the user&#39;s body side and the twelve o&#39;clock side thereof is positioned on the side opposite to the user&#39;s body side when the wristwatch worn on a wrist is used, the twelve o&#39;clock side of the wristwatch case  1  is positioned away from the user&#39;s body and exposed, whereby the first antenna  15  and the second antenna  16  can favorably receive radio waves having different frequencies from the twelve o&#39;clock side positioned away from the user&#39;s body. 
     That is, since the first antenna  15  has been arranged in an area located from around the four o&#39;clock portion of the timepiece module  7  to substantially the six o&#39;clock portion via the five o&#39;clock portion and the second antenna  16  has been arranged in an area located from around the ten o&#39;clock portion of the timepiece module  7  to substantially the twelve o&#39;clock portion via the eleven o&#39;clock portion, high-frequency radio waves for GPS can be favorably received from the twelve o&#39;clock side of the wristwatch case  1  by the first antenna  15  and standard time radio waves that are long waves can be favorably received from the twelve o&#39;clock side of the wristwatch case  1  by the second antenna  16 . 
     Also, since the first antenna  15  has been arranged in the area located from around the four o&#39;clock portion of the timepiece module  7  to substantially the six o&#39;clock portion via the five o&#39;clock portion and the second antenna  16  has been arranged in the area located from around the ten o&#39;clock portion of the timepiece module  7  to substantially the twelve o&#39;clock portion via the eleven o&#39;clock portion, the crown  5  can be provided on the three o&#39;clock side of the watch case  1  and the push-button switches  6  can be provided on the two o&#39;clock side, the four o&#39;clock side, and the eight o&#39;clock side thereof, respectively. As a result of this structure, the operability of the switches is not impaired, and can be improved. 
     Also, in this wristwatch, although the timepiece module  7  includes the pointer shaft  19  inserted into the through hole  18  provided in the dial plate  8  and the pointers  20  attached to the upper end portion of this pointer shaft  19  are moved above the dial plate  8  so as to indicate the time, each reception performance of the first antenna  15  and the second antenna  16  is hardly affected by the pointers  20  even when the pointers  20  are moved above the dial plate  8 , so that the first antenna  15  and the second antenna  16  can favorably receive radio waves having different frequencies. 
     Moreover, in this wristwatch, since the dial plate  8  has been constituted by a synthetic resin sheet that is light transmissive and the solar panel  9  which receives extraneous light and generates electricity has been arranged between the dial plate  8  and the timepiece module  7 , extraneous light can irradiate the solar panel  9  through the dial plate  8 , whereby the solar panel  9  can favorably generate electricity. 
     In this embodiment, at least an area of the solar panel  9  corresponding to the first antenna  15  has been formed as the first non-power-generation section  26  and, by this first non-power-generation section  26 , radio waves can unfailingly and favorably pass through the solar panel  9  without being blocked. Accordingly, the reception performance of the first antenna  15  is not degraded by the solar panel  9 , whereby the first antenna  15  can favorably receive high-frequency radio waves for GPS. 
     Also, an area of the solar panel  9  corresponding to the second antenna  16  has been formed as the second non-power-generation section  27  and, by this second non-power-generation section  27 , radio waves can unfailingly and favorably pass through the solar panel  9  without being blocked. Accordingly, the reception performance of the second antenna  16  is not degraded by the solar panel  9 , whereby the second antenna  16  can favorably receive standard time radio waves that are long waves. 
     In this embodiment, the stripe pattern  28  of lines tilted at a predetermined angle with respect to the boundary between the first non-power-generation section  26  and the solar panel  9  and the boundary between the second non-power-generation section  27  and the solar panel  9  has been provided on the dial plate  8 . Therefore, although the height differences occur at the boundary between a portion of the solar panel  9  around the first non-power-generation section  26  and the first antenna  15  and the boundary between a portion of the solar panel  9  around the second non-power-generation section  27  and the second antenna  16 , these height differences can be hidden by the stripe pattern  28  of the dial plate  8  so as not to draw attention. 
     That is, since the stripe pattern  28  of the dial plate  8  has been formed by a pattern of a number of thin lines tilted at a predetermined angle with respect to the boundary between the first non-power-generation section  26  and the solar panel  9  and the boundary between the second non-power-generation section  27  and the solar panel  9  being provided, these thin lines of the stripe pattern  28  intersect with the straight line S 2  connecting the center of the first antenna  15  and the center of the second antenna  16 , whereby the height differences can be hidden so as not to draw attention, and high-quality design can be provided. 
     Also, since the timepiece module  7  of this wristwatch has been structured such that the first sub-display section  21  including one first short pointer  21   a  and the second sub-display section  22  including two second short pointers  22   a  and  22   b  are provided to the sides of the first antenna  15 , the time can be indicated by the pointers  20 , the mode of a clock function or the temperature or humidity of external environment can be indicated by the first short pointer  21   a  of the first sub-display section  21 , and the world time representing the time of each city in the world can be indicated by the second short pointers  22   a  and  22   b  of the second sub-display section  22 , by which multifunctional display is achieved. 
     In this embodiment, although one corner  15   a  of the corners  15   a  and  15   b  at the sides of the side portion of the first antenna  15  near the through hole  18  in the center of the timepiece module  7  has projected into and overlapped with the area of the first sub-display section  21 , the reception performance of the first antenna  15  is not degraded by the first short pointer  21   a  because the first short pointer  21   a  of the first sub-display section  21  is not moved above the first antenna  15 . 
     That is, since the rotation range of the first short pointer  21   a  of the first sub-display section  21  has been set to a predetermined angle range such as an angle range of about 250 degrees as shown in  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 3 , the first short pointer  21   a  does not move above the area of the first antenna  15  although a portion of the first sub-display section  21  has overlapped with the area of the first antenna  15 . Therefore, the reception performance of the first antenna  15  is not degraded by the first short pointer  21   a  of the first sub-display section  21 , so that high-frequency radio waves for GPS are favorably received by the first antenna  15 . 
     In addition, although the other corner  15   b  of the corners  15   a  and  15   b  of the side portion of the first antenna  15  near the through hole  18  in the center of the timepiece module  7  has been arranged close to or has slightly projected into and overlapped with the area of the second sub-display section  22  as shown in  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 3 , the reception performance of the first antenna  15  is hardly affected by the two second short pointers  22   a  and  22   b , whereby high-frequency radio waves for GPS are favorably received by the first antenna  15 . 
     Also, the timepiece module  7  of this wristwatch includes the third sub-display section  23  having the third short pointer  23   a  and provided near the second antenna  16 . Accordingly, the time can be indicated by the pointers  20 , the mode of a clock function or the temperature or humidity of external environment can be indicated by the first short pointer  21   a  of the first sub-display section  21 , the time of each city in the world can be indicated by the second short pointers  22   a  and  22   b  of the second sub-display section  22 , and a time such as the time of an alarm or a timer can be indicated by the third short pointer  23   a  of the third sub-display section  23 , by which multifunctional display is achieved. 
     In this case as well, since the second antenna  16  has been arranged such that the third sub-display section  23  does not overlap therewith, the reception performance of the second antenna  16  is not degraded by the third short pointer  23   a  of the third sub-display section  23 , whereby the second antenna  16  can favorably receive long waves such as standard time radio waves. 
     As described above, in this wristwatch, the first sub-display section  21  having the first short pointer  21   a  and the second sub-display section  22  having the two second short pointers  22   a  and  22   b  have been provided to the sides of the first antenna  15 , and the third sub-display section  23  having the third short pointer  23   a  has been provided near the second antenna  16 , whereby multifunctional display can be achieved and high-quality design can be provided. 
     Also, in this wristwatch, the anti-magnetic plate  35  has been arranged above the timepiece module  7  without covering the upper sides of the first antenna  15  and the second antenna  16 , with one end portion of the anti-magnetic plate  35  being attached to the two o&#39;clock side of the timepiece module  7  and the other end portion of the anti-magnetic plate  35  being attached to the eight o&#39;clock side of the timepiece module  7 . Accordingly, the timepiece movement  14  of the timepiece module  7  is prevented by the anti-magnetic plate  35  from being affected by an external magnetic field, without the reception performance of the first antenna  15  and the second antenna  16  being affected by the anti-magnetic plate  35 . 
     Note that, although the stripe pattern  28  has been provided on the dial plate  8  in the first embodiment, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a pattern such as that of a first modification example in  FIG. 7 , a second modification example in  FIG. 8 , or a third modification example in  FIG. 9  may be provided. 
     Specifically, in the first modification example shown in  FIG. 7 , a lattice pattern  30  formed by a number of thin lines extending in the direction of twelve o&#39;clock to six o&#39;clock and the direction of three o&#39;clock to nine o&#39;clock and intersecting with the boundary lines between the solar panel  9  and the first non-power-generation section  26  and between the solar panel  9  and the second non-power-generation section  27  has been provided on the dial plate  8 . 
     By this lattice pattern  30  of the dial plate  8  in the first modification example as well, the height differences occurred at the boundary between a portion of the solar panel  9  around the first non-power-generation section  26  and the first antenna  15  and the boundary between a portion of the solar panel  9  around the second non-power-generation section  27  and the second antenna  16  can be hidden so as not to draw attention, whereby high-quality design can be provided. 
     Also, in the second modification example shown in  FIG. 8 , a checkered pattern  31  cyclically formed at predetermined intervals along directions intersecting with the boundary lines between the solar panel  9  and the first non-power-generation section  26  and between the solar panel  9  and the second non-power-generation section  27  has been provided on the dial plate  8 . 
     By this checkered pattern  31  of the dial plate  8  in the second modification example as well, the height differences occurred at the boundary between a portion of the solar panel  9  around the first non-power-generation section  26  and the first antenna  15  and the boundary between a portion of the solar panel  9  around the second non-power-generation section  27  and the second antenna  16  can be hidden so as not to draw attention, whereby high-quality design can be provided. 
     Moreover, in the third modification example shown in  FIG. 9 , a lattice pattern  32  formed by a number of thin lines tilted at 45 degrees and intersecting with the boundary lines between the solar panel  9  and the first non-power-generation section and between the solar panel  9  and the second non-power-generation section  27  has been provided on the dial plate  8 . 
     By this lattice pattern  32  of the third modification example as well, the height differences occurred at the boundary between a portion of the solar panel  9  around the first non-power-generation section  26  and the first antenna  15  and the boundary between a portion of the solar panel  9  around the second non-power-generation section  27  and the second antenna  16  can be hidden so as not to draw attention, whereby high-quality design can be provided. 
     Second Embodiment 
     Next, a second embodiment in which the present invention has been applied in a pointer type wristwatch is described with reference to  FIG. 10 . Note that sections identical to those in the first embodiment shown in  FIG. 1  to  FIG. 6  are provided with the same reference numerals. 
     The structure of this wristwatch is the same as that of the first embodiment except the arrangement positions of the first antenna  15  and the second antenna  16  and the arrangement positions of the first sub-display section  21 , the second sub-display section  22 , and the third sub-display section  23 . 
     Specifically, the first antenna  15  is arranged on the twelve o&#39;clock side of the timepiece module  7  and the second antenna  16  is arranged on the six o&#39;clock side of the timepiece module  7  opposing the first antenna  15 , as shown in  FIG. 10 . In this embodiment as well, the first antenna  15  and the second antenna  16  are arranged opposing each other within an angle range of about 100 degrees formed by the straight line S 1  connecting the twelve o&#39;clock point and the six o&#39;clock point being rotated. 
     In this embodiment, the first antenna  15  is arranged in an area located from around the ten o&#39;clock portion of the timepiece module  7  to around the one o&#39;clock portion via the twelve o&#39;clock portion and the second antenna  16  is arranged in an area located from around the four o&#39;clock portion of the timepiece module  7  to around the seven o&#39;clock portion via the six o&#39;clock portion, as shown in  FIG. 10 . 
     Specifically, the first antenna  15  is arranged in an area between the through hole  18  in the center of the dial plate  8  and an end portion of the dial plate  8  on the eleven o&#39;clock side, as shown in  FIG. 10 . The center of this first antenna  15  is positioned on a straight line S 3  that intersects with the straight line S 1  connecting the twelve o&#39;clock portion and the six o&#39;clock portion of the dial plate  8  at the center of the dial plate  8  at an angle of about 10 degrees in the counter clockwise direction. 
     Also, the second antenna  16  is arranged such that its center is positioned on the straight line S 3  passing through the center of the first antenna  15 , as shown in  FIG. 10 . In this embodiment, the second antenna  16  is arranged in the time piece module  7  along the outer periphery of the dial plate  8 , with its one end portion corresponding to an area around the four o&#39;clock portion of the dial plate  8  and the other end portion corresponding to an area around the seven o&#39;clock portion of the dial plate  8 . 
     The first sub-display section  21 , which displays the mode of a clock function or the temperature or humidity of external environment, includes the first short pointer  21   a , as with the first embodiment. This first sub-display section  21  is arranged in an area between the through hole  18  in the center of the dial plate  8  and an end portion of the dial plate  8  located on substantially the nine o&#39;clock side, as shown in  FIG. 10 . The rotation range of the first short pointer  21   a  of the first sub-display section  21  is set to a predetermined angle range, such as an angle range of about 180 to 300 degrees. In this second embodiment, the rotation range is set to an angle range of around 250 degrees. 
     Also, the second sub-display section  22 , which displays the time of each city in the world, includes the two second short pointers  22   a  and  22   b , as with the first embodiment. This second sub-display section  22  is arranged in an area between the through hole  18  in the center of the dial plate  8  and an end portion of the dial plate  8  located on substantially the three o&#39;clock side, and the second short pointers  22   a  and  22   b  thereof rotate by 360 degrees, respectively, as shown in  FIG. 10 . 
     Moreover, the third sub-display section  23 , which displays a time such as the time of an alarm or a timer, includes the third short pointer  23   a , as with the first embodiment. This third sub-display section  23  is arranged in an area between the through hole  18  in the center of the dial plate  8  and an end portion of the dial plate  8  on the six o&#39;clock side, and the third short pointer  23   a  thereof rotates by 360 degrees, as shown in  FIG. 10 . 
     Also, the first antenna  15  is structured such that its antenna field has a substantially square shape; its side portion on the outer periphery side of the timepiece module  7  is positioned between an area around the ten o&#39;clock point and an area around the one o&#39;clock point; one corner  15   a  of the corners  15   a  and  15   b  at the sides of its side portion near the through hole  18  in the center of the timepiece module  7  projects into and overlaps with the area of the first sub-display section  21 ; and the other corner  15   b  is arranged close to the second sub-display section  22 , as shown in  FIG. 10 . 
     The second antenna  16  is structured such that its center is positioned on the straight line S 3  passing through the center of the first antenna  15 , as shown in  FIG. 10 . This second antenna  16  is arranged in the time piece module  7  along the outer periphery of the dial plate  8 , with its one end portion corresponding to an area around the four o&#39;clock portion of the dial plate  8  and the other end portion corresponding to an area around the seven o&#39;clock portion of the dial plate  8 . 
     In this embodiment as well, the second antenna  16  is arranged such that the third sub-display section  23  does not overlap therewith, whereby the reception performance of the second antenna  16  is hardly affected by the third short pointer  23   a  of the third sub-display section  23  when the second antenna  16  receives a long wave such as a standard time radio wave. 
     With this wristwatch of the second embodiment as well, a high-frequency radio wave for GPS can be received by the first antenna  15  arranged in one end portion of the timepiece module  7 , and a standard time radio wave which is a long wave and has a frequency differing from that of the high-frequency radio wave for GPS can be received by the second antenna  16  arranged in the other end portion of the timepiece module  7  opposing the first antenna  15 , as in the case of the first embodiment. That is, radio waves having different frequencies can be unfailingly and favorably received by the first antenna  15  and the second antenna  16 . 
     In this embodiment as well, the first antenna  15  and the second antenna  16  have been arranged opposing each other within an angle range of about 100 degrees formed by the straight line S 1  connecting the twelve o&#39;clock point and the six o&#39;clock point being rotated. Accordingly, if the six o&#39;clock side of the wristwatch case  1  is positioned on the user&#39;s body side and the twelve o&#39;clock side thereof is positioned on the side opposite to the user&#39;s body side when the wristwatch worn on a wrist is used, the twelve o&#39;clock side of the wristwatch case  1  is positioned away from the user&#39;s body and exposed, whereby the first antenna  15  and the second antenna  16  can favorably receive radio waves having different frequencies from the twelve o&#39;clock side positioned away from the user&#39;s body. 
     That is, since the first antenna  15  has been arranged in an area located from around the ten o&#39;clock portion of the timepiece module  7  to around the one o&#39;clock portion via the twelve o&#39;clock portion and the second antenna  16  has been arranged in an area located from around the four o&#39;clock portion of the timepiece module  7  to around the seven o&#39;clock portion via the six o&#39;clock portion, high-frequency radio waves for GPS can be favorably received from the twelve o&#39;clock side of the wristwatch case  1  by the first antenna  15  and standard time radio waves that are long waves can be favorably received from the twelve o&#39;clock side of the wristwatch case  1  by the second antenna  16 . 
     In this embodiment, although one corner  15   a  of the corners  15   a  and  15   b  at the sides of the side portion of the first antenna  15  near the through hole  18  in the center of the timepiece module  7  has projected into and overlapped with the area of the first sub-display section  21 , the reception performance of the first antenna  15  is not degraded by the first short pointer  21   a  because the first short pointer  21   a  of the first sub-display section  21  is not moved above the first antenna  15 . 
     In addition, although the other corner  15   b  of the corners  15   a  and  15   b  of the side portion of the first antenna  15  near the through hole  18  in the center of the timepiece module  7  has been arranged close to the area of the second sub-display section  22 , the reception performance of the first antenna  15  is hardly affected by the two second short pointers  22   a  and  22   b , whereby high-frequency radio waves for GPS are favorably received by the first antenna  15 . 
     Also, since the second antenna  16  has been arranged such that the third sub-display section  23  does not overlap therewith, the reception performance of the second antenna  16  is not degraded by the third short pointer  23   a  of the third sub-display section  23 , whereby the second antenna  16  can favorably receive long waves such as standard time radio waves. 
     Third Embodiment 
     Next, a third embodiment in which the present invention has been applied in a pointer type wristwatch is described with reference to  FIG. 11 . In this embodiment as well, sections identical to those in the first embodiment shown in  FIG. 1  to  FIG. 6  are provided with the same reference numerals. 
     The structure of this wristwatch of the third embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment except the arrangement positions of the first antenna  15  and the second antenna  16  and the arrangement positions of the first sub-display section  21 , the second sub-display section  22 , and the third sub-display section  23 . 
     Specifically, the first antenna  15  is arranged on the twelve o&#39;clock side of the timepiece module  7  and the second antenna  16  is arranged on the six o&#39;clock side of the timepiece module  7  opposing the first antenna  15 , as shown in  FIG. 11 . In this embodiment as well, the first antenna  15  and the second antenna  16  are arranged opposing each other within an angle range of about 100 degrees formed by the straight line S 1  connecting the twelve o&#39;clock point and the six o&#39;clock point being rotated. 
     As a result, the first antenna  15  is arranged in an area located from substantially the eleven o&#39;clock portion of the timepiece module  7  to substantially the one o&#39;clock portion via the twelve o&#39;clock portion and the second antenna  16  is arranged in an area located from substantially the five o&#39;clock portion of the timepiece module  7  to substantially the seven o&#39;clock portion via the six o&#39;clock portion, as shown in  FIG. 11 .

The center of this first antenna  15  is positioned on a straight line S 4  that intersects with the straight line S 1  connecting the twelve o&#39;clock portion and the and the six o&#39;clock portion of the dial plate  8  at the center of the dial plate  8  at an angle of about 5 degrees in the clockwise direction. 
     Also, the second antenna  16  is arranged such that its center is positioned on the straight line S 4  passing through the center of the first antenna  15 , as shown in  FIG. 11 . In this embodiment, the second antenna  16  is arranged in the time piece module  7  along the outer periphery of the dial plate  8 , with its one end portion corresponding to substantially the five o&#39;clock portion of the dial plate  8  and the other end portion corresponding to substantially the seven o&#39;clock portion of the dial plate  8 . 
     The first sub-display section  21 , which displays the mode of a clock function or the temperature or humidity of external environment, includes the first short pointer  21   a , as with the first embodiment. This first sub-display section  21  is arranged in an area between the through hole  18  in the center of the dial plate  8  and an end portion of the dial plate  8  located on substantially the ten o&#39;clock side, as shown in  FIG. 11 . The rotation range of the first short pointer  21   a  of the first sub-display section  21  is set to a predetermined angle range, such as an angle range of about 180 to 300 degrees. In this third embodiment as well, the rotation range is set to an angle range of around 250 degrees. 
     Also, the second sub-display section  22 , which displays the time of each city in the world, includes the two second short pointers  22   a  and  22   b , as with the first embodiment. This second sub-display section  22  is arranged in an area between the through hole  18  in the center of the dial plate  8  and an end portion of the dial plate  8  on the three o&#39;clock side, and the second short pointers  22   a  and  22   b  thereof rotate by 360 degrees, respectively, as shown in  FIG. 11 . 
     Moreover, the third sub-display section  23 , which displays a time such as the time of an alarm or a timer, includes the third short pointer  23   a , as with the first embodiment. This third sub-display section  23  is arranged in an area between the through hole  18  in the center of the dial plate  8  and an end portion of the dial plate  8  on the six o&#39;clock side, and the third short pointer  23   a  thereof rotates by 360 degrees, as shown in  FIG. 11 . 
     Also, the first antenna  15  is structured such that its antenna field has a substantially square shape; its side portion on the outer periphery side of the timepiece module  7  is positioned between an area around the eleven o&#39;clock point and an area around the one o&#39;clock point; one corner  15   a  of the corners  15   a  and  15   b  at the sides of its side portion near the through hole  18  in the center of the timepiece module  7  projects into and overlaps with the area of the first sub-display section  21 ; and the other corner  15   b  is arranged close to the second sub-display section  22 , as shown in  FIG. 11 . 
     The second antenna  16  is structured such that its center is positioned on the straight line S 4  passing through the center of the first antenna  15 , as shown in  FIG. 11 . This second antenna  16  is arranged in the time piece module  7  along the outer periphery of the dial plate  8 , with its one end portion corresponding to substantially the five o&#39;clock portion of the dial plate  8  and the other end portion corresponding to substantially the seven o&#39;clock portion of the dial plate  8 . 
     In this embodiment as well, the second antenna  16  is arranged such that the third sub-display section  23  is positioned close thereto or slightly overlaps therewith, whereby the reception performance of the second antenna  16  is hardly affected by the third short pointer  23   a  of the third sub-display section  23  when the second antenna  16  receives a long wave such as a standard time radio wave. 
     With this wristwatch of the third embodiment, a high-frequency radio wave for GPS can be received by the first antenna  15  arranged in one end portion of the timepiece module  7 , and a standard time radio wave which is a long wave and has a frequency differing from that of the high-frequency radio wave for GPS can be received by the second antenna  16  arranged in the other end portion of the timepiece module  7  opposing the first antenna  15 , as in the case of the first embodiment. That is, radio waves having different frequencies can be favorably received by the first antenna  15  and the second antenna  16 . 
     In this embodiment as well, the first antenna  15  and the second antenna  16  have been arranged opposing each other within an angle range of about 100 degrees formed by the straight line S 1  connecting the twelve o&#39;clock point and the six o&#39;clock point being rotated. Accordingly, if the six o&#39;clock side of the wristwatch case  1  is positioned on the user&#39;s body side and the twelve o&#39;clock side thereof is positioned on the side opposite to the user&#39;s body side when the wristwatch worn on a wrist is used, the twelve o&#39;clock side of the wristwatch case  1  is positioned away from the user&#39;s body and exposed, whereby the first antenna  15  and the second antenna  16  can favorably receive radio waves having different frequencies from the twelve o&#39;clock side positioned away from the user&#39;s body. 
     That is, since the first antenna  15  has been arranged in an area located from substantially the eleven o&#39;clock portion of the timepiece module  7  to substantially the one o&#39;clock portion via the twelve o&#39;clock portion and the second antenna  16  has been arranged in an area located from substantially the five o&#39;clock portion of the timepiece module  7  to substantially the seven o&#39;clock portion via the six o&#39;clock portion, high-frequency radio waves for GPS can be favorably received from the twelve o&#39;clock side of the wristwatch case  1  by the first antenna  15  and standard time radio waves that are long waves can be favorably received from the twelve o&#39;clock side of the wristwatch case  1  by the second antenna  16 . 
     In this embodiment, although one corner  15   a  of the corners  15   a  and  15   b  at the sides of the side portion of the first antenna  15  near the through hole  18  in the center of the timepiece module  7  has projected into and overlapped with the area of the first sub-display section  21 , the reception performance of the first antenna  15  is not degraded by the first short pointer  21   a  because the first short pointer  21   a  of the first sub-display section  21  is not moved above the first antenna  15 . 
     In addition, although the other corner  15   b  of the corners  15   a  and  15   b  of the side portion of the first antenna  15  near the through hole  18  in the center of the timepiece module  7  has been arranged close to the area of the second sub-display section  22 , the reception performance of the first antenna  15  is hardly affected by the two second short pointers  22   a  and  22   b , whereby high-frequency radio waves for GPS are favorably received by the first antenna  15 . 
     Also, since the second antenna  16  has been arranged such that the third sub-display section  23  is positioned close thereto or slightly overlaps therewith, the reception performance of the second antenna  16  is not degraded by the third short pointer  23   a  of the third sub-display section  23 , whereby the second antenna  16  can favorably receive long waves such as standard time radio waves. 
     Fourth Embodiment 
     Next, a third embodiment in which the present invention has been applied in a pointer type wristwatch is described with reference to  FIG. 12 . In this embodiment as well, sections identical to those in the first embodiment shown in  FIG. 1  to  FIG. 6  are provided with the same reference numerals. 
     The structure of this wristwatch of the fourth embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment except the arrangement positions of the first antenna  15  and the second antenna  16  and the arrangement positions of the first sub-display section  21 , the second sub-display section  22 , and the third sub-display section  23 . 
     Specifically, the first antenna  15  is arranged on substantially the two o&#39;clock side of the timepiece module  7  and the second antenna  16  is arranged on substantially the seven o&#39;clock side of the timepiece module  7  opposing the first antenna  15 , as shown in  FIG. 12 . In this embodiment, the first antenna  15  and the second antenna  16  are not positioned on the same line but are positioned on straight lines S 5  and S 6  tilted at different angles with respect to the straight line S 1  connecting the twelve o&#39;clock point and the six o&#39;clock point, respectively. 
     In this embodiment as well, the first antenna  15  and second antenna  16  are arranged opposing each other within an angle range of about 100 degrees formed by the straight line S 1  connecting the twelve o&#39;clock point and the six o&#39;clock point being rotated. That is, the center of the first antenna  15  is positioned on the straight line S 5  that intersects with the straight line S 1  connecting the twelve o&#39;clock portion and the and the six o&#39;clock portion of the dial plate  8  at the center of the dial plate  8  at an angle of about 50 degrees in the clockwise direction. As a result, the first antenna  15  is arranged between an area around the one o&#39;clock portion of the timepiece module and an area around the two o&#39;clock portion. 
     Also, the center of the second antenna  16  is positioned on the straight line S 6  that intersects with the straight line S 1  connecting the twelve o&#39;clock portion and the and the six o&#39;clock portion of the dial plate  8  at the center of the dial plate  8  at an angle of about 30 degrees in the clockwise direction. As a result, the second antenna  16  is arranged in the time piece module  7  along the outer periphery of the dial plate  8 , with its one end portion corresponding to an area around the six o&#39;clock portion of the dial plate  8  and the other end portion corresponding to an area around the eight o&#39;clock portion of the dial plate  8 . 
     The first sub-display section  21 , which displays the mode of a clock function or the temperature or humidity of external environment, includes the first short pointer  21   a , as with the first embodiment. This first sub-display section  21  is arranged in an area between the through hole  18  in the center of the dial plate  8  and an end portion of the dial plate  8  on the twelve o&#39;clock side, as shown in  FIG. 12 . The rotation range of the first short pointer  21   a  of the first sub-display section  21  is set to a predetermined angle range, such as an angle range of about 180 to 300 degrees. In this fourth embodiment, the rotation range is set to an angle range of around 180 degrees. 
     Also, the second sub-display section  22 , which displays the time of each city in the world, includes the two second short pointers  22   a  and  22   b , as with the first embodiment. This second sub-display section  22  is arranged in an area between the through hole  18  in the center of the dial plate  8  and an end portion of the dial plate  8  on the six o&#39;clock side, and the second short pointers  22   a  and  22   b  thereof rotate by 360 degrees, respectively, as shown in  FIG. 12 . 
     Moreover, the third sub-display section  23 , which displays a time such as the time of an alarm or a timer, includes the third short pointer  23   a , as with the first embodiment. This third sub-display section  23  is arranged in an area between the through hole  18  in the center of the dial plate  8  and an end portion of the dial plate  8  on the nine o&#39;clock side, and the third short pointer  23   a  thereof rotates by 360 degrees, as shown in  FIG. 12 . 
     Also, the first antenna  15  is structured such that its antenna field has a substantially square shape; its side portion on the outer periphery side of the timepiece module  7  is positioned between an area around the one o&#39;clock point and an area around the two o&#39;clock point; one corner  15   a  of the corners  15   a  and  15   b  at the sides of its side portion near the through hole  18  in the center of the timepiece module  7  projects into and overlaps with the area of the first sub-display section  21 ; and the other corner  15   b  is positioned away from the second sub-display section  22 , as shown in  FIG. 12 . 
     The second antenna  16  is arranged such that the second sub-display section  22  is positioned close thereto and does not overlap therewith, as shown in  FIG. 12 . As a result, the reception performance of the second antenna  16  is not affected by the second short pointers  22   a  and  22   b  of the second sub-display section  22  when the second antenna  16  receives a long wave such as a standard time radio wave. 
     With this wristwatch of the fourth embodiment, a high-frequency radio wave for GPS can be received by the first antenna  15  arranged in one end portion of the timepiece module  7 , and a standard time radio wave which is a long wave and has a frequency differing from that of the high-frequency radio wave for GPS can be received by the second antenna  16  arranged in the other end portion of the timepiece module  7  opposing the first antenna  15 , as in the case of the first embodiment. That is, radio waves having different frequencies can be unfailingly and favorably received by the first antenna  15  and the second antenna  16 . 
     In this embodiment as well, the first antenna  15  and second antenna  16  have been arranged opposing each other within an angle range of about 100 degrees formed by the straight line S 1  connecting the twelve o&#39;clock point and the six o&#39;clock point being rotated. Accordingly, if the six o&#39;clock side of the wristwatch case  1  is positioned on the user&#39;s body side and the twelve o&#39;clock side thereof is positioned on the side opposite to the user&#39;s body side when the wristwatch worn on a wrist is used, the twelve o&#39;clock side of the wristwatch case  1  is positioned away from the user&#39;s body and exposed, whereby the first antenna  15  and the second antenna  16  can favorably receive radio waves having different frequencies from the twelve o&#39;clock side positioned away from the user&#39;s body. 
     That is, since the first antenna  15  has been arranged in an area located from substantially the one o&#39;clock portion of the timepiece module  7  to substantially the two a′ clock portion and the second antenna  16  has been arranged in an area located from substantially the six o&#39;clock portion of the timepiece module  7  to substantially the eight o&#39;clock portion, high-frequency radio waves for GPS can be favorably received from the twelve o&#39;clock side of the wristwatch case  1  by the first antenna  15  and standard time radio waves that are long waves can be favorably received from the twelve o&#39;clock side of the wristwatch case  1  by the second antenna  16 . 
     In this embodiment, although one corner  15   a  of the corners  15   a  and  15   b  at the sides of the side portion of the first antenna  15  near the through hole  18  in the center of the timepiece module  7  has projected into and overlapped with the area of the first sub-display section  21 , the reception performance of the first antenna  15  is not degraded by the first short pointer  21   a  because the first short pointer  21   a  of the first sub-display section  21  is not moved above the first antenna  15 . 
     Also, since the second antenna  16  has been arranged such that the second sub-display section  22  is positioned close thereto and does not overlap therewith, the reception performance of the second antenna  16  is not degraded by the second short pointers  22   a  and  22   b  of the second sub-display section  22 , whereby the second antenna  16  can favorably receive long waves such as standard time radio waves. 
     Note that, although the first to third sub-display sections  21  to  23  have been included in the above-described first to fourth embodiments and the modification examples, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a structure including one, two, four, or more sub-display sections or a structure that does not include sub-display sections may be adopted. 
     Also, in the above-described first to fourth embodiments and the modification examples, the pointers  20  including the hour hand, the minute hand, and the second hand, the first short pointer  21   a , the two second short pointers  22   a  and  22   b , and the third short pointer  23   a  are made of a metallic material. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and they may be made of a resin material or a carbon material. 
     Moreover, in the above-described first to fourth embodiments and the modification examples, the first non-power-generation section  26  provided in the solar panel  9  and corresponding to the first antenna  15  and the second non-power-generation section  27  provided in the solar panel  9  and corresponding to the second antenna  16  have been formed by portions of the solar panel  9  being cut off. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the first non-power-generation section  26  and the second non-power-generation section  27  may be formed by portions of the lower electrodes, the semiconductor layers, and the upper electrodes being cut off such that the film substrate remains uncut. 
     Furthermore, although the first non-power-generation section  26  provided in the solar panel  9  and corresponding to the first antenna  15  in the above-described first to fourth embodiments and the modification examples has been formed by a portion of the solar panel  9  being cut off, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the first non-power-generation section  26  may be formed by portions of the lower electrodes, the semiconductor layers, and the upper electrodes corresponding to the outer shape of the emitting electrode of the first antenna  15  being cut off without a portion of the film substrate corresponding thereto being cut off. In addition, although it may slightly affect the reception performance, a cell  9   a  around which an area corresponding to the outer shape of the emitting electrode has been cut off may be connected to other plurality of cells  9   a  in series by a connection section being provided. 
     Still further, in the above-described first to fourth embodiments and the modification examples, the present invention has been applied to a pointer type wristwatch. However, the present invention is not necessarily applied to a wristwatch. The present invention can be applied to various pointer-type timepieces, such as a travel watch, an alarm clock, a table clock, and a wall clock. In addition, the present invention is not necessarily applied to a timepiece, and can be applied to electronic devices, such as a mobile phone and a portable information terminal device. 
     While the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, it is intended that the invention be not limited by any of the details of the description therein but includes all the embodiments which fall within the scope of the appended claims.
