Patent ID: 6901033

Claim:
An electronic timepiece comprising: a base frame composed of a synthetic resin; a power supply for providing electric power to a first power rail and a second power rail, said second power rail being a reference ground and being coupled to a covering plate; a drive conversion unit rotatively driven by said electric power; a drive-controlling circuit for controlling the rotation of said drive conversion unit, said drive controlling circuit having an power electrode directly coupled to said first power rail; a time-display member on said base frame and visible from the outside of said electronic timepiece; a time-display wheel rotated by said drive conversion unit and interposed between said base frame and said time-display member, said time-display wheel having a shaft functioning as its axis of rotation; and a planar insulation member for preventing a short-circuit between said first and second power rails, said planar insulation member being disposed between said power electrode and said covering plate, and having an area covering said power terminal and covering at least a portion of said time-display wheel, wherein said planer insulation member includes a guide hole through which said shaft is guided.
