Abstract (en)

[origin: US5493544A] The caseband (1) of the watch case comprises a central body (10) onto which a peripheral body (20) is secured in a detachable manner. In order to diminish the weight of noble metal of the case and thus its price, the peripheral body includes a hollow (21) around the circumference of the caseband. A framework (25) formed of a strong but inexpensive material is arranged within the hollow (21), when the two bodies are separated from one another, in order to assure good strength to the case.
