  • the pusher 21 is housed in part in the first blade 2, near the joint at its first end.
  • the first blade 2 has a housing 23 of complementary shape to the shape of the pusher 21, the housing 23 comprising the first through hole 24 to allow the shaft 20 to pass through the first blade 2.
  • the pusher 21 is in the form of a body having an oblong section and rests partly in the housing 23 so that the pusher 21 is slightly projecting and thus allows easy operation.
  • Other forms can obviously be envisaged for the pusher, such as a circular or rectangular section.
  • the skilled person could also consider setting up a pusher 21 flush with the first blade 2 for design reasons but it would make the actuation of the pusher less easy.
  • the axis 20 and the pusher 21 form an integral element. They can obviously also be two separate elements, the pusher 21 can be screwed or driven on the axis 20 for example.
  • the axis 20 is of cylindrical shape and comprises three portions, first and third portions of diameter D1, and a second portion positioned between first and third portions, said reduced portion, having a diameter D2 smaller than the diameter D1.
  • the axis 20 crosses successively the first blade 2 by a first through hole 24, then the second blade through the groove 30 and again the first blade by a second through hole 26, the axis 20 being held in place by the pusher at its first end and by the screw 28 at its other end, the screw 28 resting in the hole 26.
  • the axis 20 is arranged to pass through the groove 30 which has a height H similar to the diameter D2 of the reduced portion of the axis 20.
  • the clearances 31 and 32 have a diameter D3 similar to the diameter D1 of the axis, the height H being less than the diameter D3 of the clearances to avoid inadvertent adjustment of the clasp.
  • the pusher 21 comprises at least one spring 27 so as to maintain it in its rest position in one of the recesses 31 or 32, the reduced portion of diameter D2 being offset longitudinally with respect to the groove 30 in its position of rest.
  • the spring 22 can be placed in the housing 23, between the pusher 21 and the first blade 2.
  • the housing 23 comprises two spring 27, each of the spring 27 partially resting in a machining 270 to hold them in place.
  • the springs 27 are arranged on each side of the through hole 24 through which the axis 20 passes so as to better distribute the forces and have the most rectilinear displacement possible when the wearer presses on the pusher 21.
  • the groove 30 may comprise at least a third clearance, said intermediate clearance, disposed between the first and second clearance 31, 32 so as to define an intermediate position between the long position and the short position.
  • the skilled person may add the necessary number of clearances, however it is not desirable to have too many possible settings for the sake of simplicity of implementation and ease of handling of the clasp 1 by the user.
  • the first blade 2 is provided slightly longer so that there is no day between the first blade 2 and the second blade 3, at the end of the two blades 2 and 3 near the blade. articulation, when the latter is positioned in the long position.
  • the first locking means may be formed, for example, by at least one ball pawl 25 configured to cooperate with an orifice formed in the first blade 2, so as to maintain the first blade 2 in its closed position against the second blade 3 and thus prevent any maladjustment of the second blade 3 once it is folded on the first blade 2.
  • the user first unfolds the second blade 3 of the first blade 2. Then, the user presses the pusher 21 so as to shift the axis 20 from its rest position as on the figure 5c towards its retracted position as on the figure 5b , Thus the reduced portion of the axis 20 is placed in front of the groove 30 and the wearer can then move the second blade 3 of the clearance 31 to the clearance 32 or vice versa. Finally, once the second blade 3 positioned in the desired clearance, the carrier releases the pusher 21 which returns to its rest position under the effect of the spring, the first portion then being in front of the groove 30 and preventing any translation of the second blade 3. The wearer only has to close the clasp 1 to wear the watch.
  • the clasp comprises a third blade 4 hinged to the second end of the first blade 2, a base plate 41 is pivotally articulated to the third blade 4, and a hood 42 is mounted on the base plate 41, the first strand or link being held by means of holding means 44.
