Abstract: An improved combination bracelet and wristwatch comprising a watch case including a bezel, a crystal, and a case back, the watch case containing a movement, dial and hands disposed therein, said hands being viewable from one side of the case through the crystal, the case back defining a recessed well facing the exterior side and having a decorative insert disposed in said well, a pair of opposed spindles projecting from opposite sides of the bezel, a bracelet attachment including articulated chain elements, and means attached between selected chain elements and said spindles for rotatably and pivotally mounting said watch case on said bracelet attachment.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the means rotatably mounting the watch case comprising a pair of collars disposed on said spindles and having a pair of hooks each extending through an articulated chain element and having opposed ends pivotally cooperating with said collars.

Abstract: A watch case has attachment lugs on opposite ends thereof, a flexible resilient watch band with attachment ends, first means pivotably connecting one attachment end of the watch band to the lugs on the six o'clock end of the watch case, and second means pivotably connecting the other attachment end of the watch band to the lugs on the twelve o'clock end of the watch case and having abutment means limiting pivoting on the twelve o'clock lugs so as to require more resilient flexing of the watch band on the twelve o'clock end than on the six o'clock end as the band curves toward the wearer's wrist, whereby tendency of the more flexed end to unflex displaces the watch case in a preferred direction on the wrist.

Abstract: A resin watch case with a substantially round bezel is provided with relatively thin lugs or "horns" for conventional attachment of a strap or band with retractable spring bars having pins passing through holes in the lugs. The lugs are angled downward from the bezel to terminate below it. An integral reinforcing cross member extending between the lugs and which is concealed by the strap and bezel serves to reinforce the thin lugs against breakage. The overall attachment gives the appearance of a thin lug in a resin case which is normally only possible with the strength of a metal case.
