  • the first of these connecting bridges 12 can be seen in FIG. 1.
  • the decorative element 11 is held securely between the housing wall 4 and the connecting bridges 12 and the latter at the same time protect it from external mechanical influences, so that a sensitive decorative element 11, for example one made of brittle, easily breaking or soft, easily scratchable material can be used well.
  • the connecting bridges 12 connect the edge of the housing cover 2 with the edge of the housing base 3. They make the housing into a stable, closed unit in which the decorative element 11 is integrated.
  • a connecting bridge 12 on which means 18 for fastening a bracelet end are provided is also referred to below as a fastening bridge.
  • the connecting bridge 12 for fastening the bracelet 20 has a passage running perpendicular to the central plane 6 a.m. - 12 p.m. of the housing, designated A-A in FIG. A corresponding passage at the end of the bracelet is aligned with it and a connecting pin 18 crossing these passages connects the end of the bracelet to the connecting bridge 12.

  • Connection bridges 12 are therefore also preferably arranged in the area of the fastening means mentioned, as a rule in the FIGS Positions 6 a.m. and 12 p.m. If the fastening means are provided on the connecting bridges 12, they are, as already mentioned, fastening bridges.
  • the connecting bridges 12 are formed by two connecting elements 16 starting from the cover part 7 and extending over the decorative element 11 (only one of which is visible in FIG. 1) and one connecting element 17 starting from the base part 8 and extending under the decorative element 11.
  • These connecting elements 12 extend essentially radially outwards from the edge of the housing cover 7 or of the housing base 8 with respect to the pointer axis 19 (or an axis of a clock without a pointer, which is analogously perpendicular to the display plane of the clock).

  • connecting bridge 12 shown in FIG. 1 is a fastening bridge, which, however, need not be: for fastening one or both ends of the bracelet, fastening means arranged on the base part 8 and independent of the connecting bridge 12 could also be provided.
  • the cover-side and bottom-side connecting elements 12 are connected to one another radially outside the decorative element 11 with respect to the clock axis 19: the axis of the connecting pin 18 lies a distance d outside the point of the decorative element that is radially outermost in the area of this pin 18. This results in a favorable distribution of the forces on cover part 7 and base part 8.
