  • Said side walls 9 are each provided on their internal side of two grooves 10 and at each of their ends of notches 11.
  • said side walls 9 define two opposite openings 11 'for the passage of ends of the bracelet 3.
  • Bracelet 3 as illustrated according to FIG. 3, comprises at each of its ends a rigid rod 12 fixed in the terminal fold of the bracelet, the ends protruding from the rod coming to be housed in the notches 11 of the assembly cover 2.
  • the rods 12 at the end of the bracelet can be replaced by nipples projecting on either side of each end of the bracelet and arranged to cooperate with the notches 11. These nipples may have come from material or reported.
  • the housing 4 has on two of its sides opposite spring balls 13 intended to snap into the grooves 10 of the cover assembly 2.
  • a new type of watch is obtained which from three modular elements interchangeable without tools, that is to say the assembly cover 2, the bracelet 3 and the case 4, allows the user to easily obtain a multitude of combinations according to the different assembly covers, cases and bracelets of which has.
