Wrist watch bracelet fitting includes rotating element enabling bracelet pin to be removed without special tools for spring compression

摘要

The bracelet pin is released by turning the support to align an aperture, rather than by compressing the pin longitudinally. The wrist watch includes a watch casing (2) and a bracelet (4), the box having two pairs of projecting ears for the attachment of the bracelet. The ears each have a cylindrical hole (24,26) for supporting the pivots (18,20) of the bars (14) on which the bracelet is mounted. A cartridge (28) is mounted for rotation in at least one of the ears of each pair. This cartridge has a hole (34) which is intended to receive a pivot (18) and is opened laterally by a longitudinal slot (36). The rotation of the cartridge ensures that in a first position the pivot may be introduced into the hole, and in the second position it is locked in place.
