Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0923889A1] Bracelet consists of two halves (6, 7) made from alternating links (8) and cylindrical bars (9) with through holes (13,15) to receive a flexible cable (10) which joins the links together and connects the bracelet halves to the watch case (1). At least one of the bracelet halves has an end link (3) with a cavity (4) and cover (17) to receive surplus portions of the cable ends (11, 12) after they have been fixed by clamp screws (14 16). This allows the bracelet to be lengthened by removing the end link and adding one or more links and bars.
