  • said locking projection 2.1 of the securing element 2 of a device according to the invention is arranged in the direction of and at the level of the lower housing edge 7.2 of the housing 7. This attacks the Locking projection 2.1 in the first, secured position of the securing element 2 under the housing edge 7.2 of the housing 7 and thus blocks the link 1 against any directed to the housing top movement, which could lead to loosening of the link 1 from the bracelet web 9.

  • the angle ⁇ between the said first and second directions defined by the first 1.1 and second grooves 3.1, viewed in the first, secured position of the securing element 2 is selected to be approximately between 0 ° and 60 °, preferably as an acute angle less than 30 °, more preferably an angle between 10 ° and 25 °, in order to achieve a kind of wedging, which makes unintentional release of the bracelet web 9 from the device impossible.
  • the link 1 usually does not detach from the bracelet web 9, insofar as the latter due to the interaction of the first groove 1.1 on the link 1 and the second groove 3.1 on the blocking lever 3 and because of their specific design and spatial arrangement between these two grooves 1.1, 3.1 is wedged. This was also tested in particular by laboratory and wearing tests of a watch equipped with a bracelet according to the invention.

This is the case in particular with regard to the requirements for robustness and safety of the bracelet web attached to the housing, since the force effects occurring at the wrist strap fastening device, depending on their intensity and direction, are transmitted from there to the wrist web 9. Therefore, the structure, geometry, and operation of the fixed or detachable bracelet bar 9 should be adapted accordingly to prevent, for example, accidental detachment of said strap attachment device from the housing.
