  • box B is advantageously dimensioned so that it can be inserted and stored with other identical or similar boxes in a bundling package or in a transport package.
  • the holding device D and / or the box B is made of plastic material such as polyethylene or polypropylene or polyvinyl chloride or polystyrene or ABS.
  • the first, second and third axes are parallel.
  • the first, second and fourth axes are parallel.
  • the one or more elastically deformable connections comprise an elastically flexible blade 3c, 3d; 4f, 4g, in particular a curved blade and / or a blade extending, at the level of the contact element, parallel to or substantially parallel to the surface of the watch component 5 on which the contact element is intended to bear .
  • the packaging box is such that the state of the support is determined by the position of a lid of the box.
  • This first configuration is a configuration in which a clock component 5 would not be maintained.
  • the device is preferably positioned so as to facilitate the gripping of the watch component 5 so as to avoid damage to the watch component 5.
  • the watch component 5 is deposited on the holding device, in particular on the support, in particular on a support zone arranged to be able to support the watch component 5 while the device D is in first configuration.
  • the watch component 5 can be deposited on the additional contact elements 3x, 3y.
  • the action of displacement of the control member and / or the cover can be done with the help of the action of the elastic links to reach a stop position, in particular a position of contact of the abutment 21 with the abutment 22.
  • the cover C is pressed against the bottom in the direction of the arrow 8.
  • Locking means of the box B between the cover C and the bottom F for example by clip, latch, clasp, by self-gripping fastening means, are not necessarily necessary. They can however be planned.
  • the box B and the device D are then in closed configuration or maintenance configuration represented on the Figures 3, 4 , 13 .
  • the box B and / or the holding device D could be arranged so that, when the lid of the box is closed, no moment is passed by an unstable equilibrium position described above.
  • the action of displacement of the cover is against the action of the elastic connections of the arrival in contact with the contact elements with the watch component 5 until the closure of the cover.
  • the box B described above can be used for transporting, handling or storing watch components of various shapes, or even more generally objects of various shapes.
  • the box B makes it possible in the first place to optimally protect a watch component 5 from accidental shocks, falls, and vibrations during a transport.
  • the box B also makes it possible to protect a watch component 5 of an environment during storage. Box B also accommodates the widest possible range of pieces of different sizes.
  • the introduction and the extraction of the object are facilitated with regard to the known packages of the prior art.
  • the holding device allows, in a first configuration, a facilitated grip of the watch component 5 without risk of damaging it and, in a second configuration, to adequately hold the watch component 5 in place in order to preserve it from any shock.
  • the invention also relates to a box B for packaging a watch component 5, comprising at least one support 3, 4 adapted to receive the watch component and configurable between a first maintenance state of the watch component and a second state of release of the component watchmaker.
