Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0723750A2] The watch has a flexible core formed in one piece with spaced apart spacer members (20). The latter are used to fix receptacle sections (61) to the core for decorative elements (16). Spacer elements (16) are arranged in the receptacle sections (61). The core has a first, expandable, soft core element (18) with a channel (22) for a second core element (24), and has a second flexible core element (24) which is comparatively rigid. The spacer members (20) are formed integrally on the first core element (18). The decorative elements are formed as a one piece sleeve body. The first core element (18) preferably has a U-shaped cross-section to form the channel (22) for the second element (24). The cross-section of the channel (22) corresponds to that of the second element (24). Alternatively, the first core element may be in the form of a tube corresponding to the second element.
