TIME SWITCH

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a time switch improved in operability of a dial. SOLUTION: A time mechanism part 7 is provided with: the dial 5 turnably arranged on the front surface of a casing 1 and having a setting piece 8 being a setting means detachably attached to a circumferential part; and a gear mechanism 70 for transmitting rotation of a motor M to the dial 5 by a plurality of gears. The present time is set by setting the scale of time indication of the dial 5 at the position of the present time, that is, the position of an opening 15a of a recess 15 by turning the dial 5 by picking a protrusion 50 by fingers. Since the protrusion 50 projecting frontward from the front surface of the casing 1 is formed nearly at the center of the dial 5, the dial 5 can be rotated by picking the protrusion 50 and the operability of the dial 5 is improved.
