Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0683993A1] The end, or last link, of the strap (20) has a protuberance (21) with two pegs (22,23) projecting from opposite sides on a common axis (27) parallel to the edge (16) of the wrist-watch case (10). When the protuberance is pushed into a recess (11) in the end of the case, both pegs spring into a groove (13), while a threshold (14) across the entrance to the recess engages in a matching slot (24) in the underside of the protuberance behind the two pegs. <IMAGE>
