Description

  The present disclosure relates to regular articles for everyday use, and more particularly to watches having interchangeable decorative elements.

  It is known that a watch includes a body and a strap. The main body is a functional element in the timepiece, and an electric operation, a mechanical operation, or a quarter operation is mounted in the main body. The outer surface of the main body is provided with a display window indicating time. The body is connected to the strap. The user wears the watch by wrapping a strap around his arm, thereby providing the user with the convenience of carrying the watch.

  At the moment, the clock is more than a time telling tool. Clocks are more often used as decorations. Even in the rapidly developing high-tech world, watches are still popular for humans. However, the decorative element in a conventional timepiece is usually mounted directly on the strap or body, thus incurring the disadvantage that the decorative element cannot be replaced. Such a watch has a very simple decorative function and is not competitive in the market.

  In view of the above, the present disclosure is directed to solving at least one of the problems existing in the prior art.

  Thus, a timepiece with replaceable decorative elements is provided. A watch according to the present disclosure may have a very simple element and coupling structure. The exchange of each element can be simplified, especially with respect to decorative elements. Accordingly, the decorative function of the watch can be improved.

  According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a watch is provided that includes a replaceable decorative element. The watch can include a body and a strap. The strap may include a first through hole. A decorative substrate may be provided on the upper surface of the strap and a snap ring may be provided below the lower surface of the strap. The decorative substrate and the snap ring can be correspondingly attached with the first through hole. The decorative substrate may include a second through hole connected coaxially with the first through hole. The body can be mounted in the first through hole and the second through hole. The top surface of the body can include an extended edge. An extended edge can be mounted on the upper edge of the second through hole in the decorative substrate. The body may include a bottom end extending from the first through hole and reaching the outside of the lower surface of the strap. The bottom end of the main body may be provided with an external thread (male thread). The snap ring may form a screw connection with the bottom end. A snap ring may be attached below the lower edge of the first through hole in the strap.

  According to the present disclosure, the disclosed watch can provide many advantages and benefits. In particular, the present disclosure provides a watch that allows the body to be assembled (or disassembled) from the strap through a snap ring. Further, since the decorative board is attached together with the snap, it is very easy to remove each part of the watch. In addition, it is convenient for the user to replace the decorative substrate with another decoration having a different shape and function. Thus, a change in watch style or appearance can be achieved. In that way, selective DIY and creative design can be obtained, and people's requirements can be fully satisfied, especially for young people.
