Abstract: An articulated device, consists of three parts (2, 5, 6), for permitting to wear or take off a wrist-watch (1) connected to a strap (7), of a sole length. The first part (2) of this device is so shaped as to receive and partially protect the watch (1). Said part (2) is formed by two parts (3, 4). The part (3) shaped as an annular frame is hinged, at one of its ends, to the intermediate part (5), which at its other end is pivotally connected, to the part (6), so that the parts (5, 6) can rotate in opposite directions to each other. The part (6), at one of its ends is hinged to the end portion (7b) of the strap (7), while the other end (7a) of this latter is hinged to the opposite end of the part (3). The hinge axes (x--x, y--y, w--w, z--z) of the parts (2, 5, 6) are parallel to each other. The articulated device comprises a spring locking means (15 to 22) including a manually controllable releasing means.
