Embodiment Construction

[0022] Figure 1 shows a simplified perspective view of a timepiece 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. More precisely, the timepiece 1 can be used as a wristwatch, pocket watch or desk clock.

[0023] Correspondingly, timepiece 1 comprises a case 2 comprising a middle 3 , a back 4 and a glass 5 .

[0024] The back 4 is mounted so as to be able to pivot on the middle part 3, the purpose of which is, on the one hand, to allow the timepiece to be used as a table clock by forming a support and, on the other hand, to provide the locking of the end 6 of a strand of the bracelet, This is explained in more detail below.

[0025] As a non-limiting illustration, the end 6 of the bracelet ring has been shown in FIG. 1 at six o'clock of the clock, that is to say at the position adjacent to the hinge 8 connecting the back 4 to the middle 3 .

[0026] Opposite the hinge, that is to say in the noon position, the middle part 3 supports the bow 9 intended to allow the con...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a case (2) for a timepiece (1), i.e. a wristwatch, comprising a middle (3), a back (4), and a first and second member (9, 8, 44, 49) for attaching to a watchstrap. The back (4) is attached to the middle (3) so as to be pivotable between open and closed positions, and to define a bearing surface in the open position for using the timepiece as a table clock. The first attachment member (9) is arranged so as to enable a chain to be attached for using the timepiece as a pocket watch, and the second attachment member (8, 44, 49) includes at least one recess (44) provided in the middle (3), at the circumference thereof and near the back (4), such that one end (6) of the watchstrap can be inserted therein when the back is in the open position, and locked by the back when the latter is closed. The invention further relates to the corresponding timepiece (1), as well as to a set including such a timepiece combined with a suitable watchstrap and chain. Advantageously, any configuration of the timepiece can be changed into another configuration without having to use tools.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a case for a wristwatch type timepiece, in particular comprising a middle part for housing a winding mechanism, a back and first and second connection assemblies for connection to a bracelet. [0002] More precisely, the invention relates to a case in the production of timepieces of the type from which the bracelet can be removed without the use of tools. [0003] Specifically, a case according to the invention is one whose back is mechanically connected to the middle so as to be able to pivot between at least one open position and one closed position; and which defines a bearing surface in the open position for the purpose of using the timepiece as A table clock. It is advantageous to be able to easily remove the fob. Background technique [0004] Such watches have been known in the prior art in which the case has on each side the same bracelet attachment assembly, the latter optionally including at least one button ...
