  • Patent number: 5341552
    Abstract: The caseband (2) of the watchcase (1) comprises one or two hollows (20, 25) for receiving the end of each length of watchband. The ends of the watchband are held by attachments such as claws (30) or recesses (32, 25), matching notches (40) or protuberances (41, 42) situated near the ends of the watchband, and disposed on extensions of the back (3) of the watchcase or on intermediate parts (33, 43, 44, 50, 56) integral with the watchcase back or with the caseband. This arrangement not only facilitates the manufacture and finishing of the watchcase by eliminating any projecting elements which would interfere with production on automatic machines, but also enables the watchband attachment to be made more attractive.
