We aim to generalize Büchi's fundamental theorem on the coincidence of recognizable and
MSO-definable languages to a weighted timed setting. For this, we investigate weighted
timed automata and show how we can extend Wilke's relative distance logic with weights
taken from an arbitrary semiring. We show that every formula in our logic can effectively be
transformed into a weighted timed automaton, and vice versa. The results indicate the
robustness of weighted timed automata and may also be used for specification purposes.
