  • Timepiece case/dial plate assembly
    Patent number: 4379644
    Abstract: The assembly includes a timepiece case having an undercut portion forming a maneuvering recess for a dial plate which is oversized in one dimension relative to an access opening in the case. The maneuvering recess allows a dial plate larger in one dimension than the access opening to be inserted into the case. A larger, more aesthetically-pleasing dial plate can thereby be employed while retaining an appearance of thinness for the timepiece case.
