Timepiece comprising a caseband (2) capable of being elastically deformed whose internal wall (20) has a first protruding part (23, 24) and a second protruding part (28) forming a stop for the movement (50) associated with the dial (52). When the movement is inserted into the caseband, the first protruding part is passed via the rim (56) of movement by the application of pressure (58) on the movement resulting in a separating force of the case band thanks to the specific profile of the first protruding part. Once in place, the movement surmounted by dial is held in a fixed position in the caseband by means of the first and second protruding parts.

Timepiece comprising a case wherein a clockwork movement is housed

Control device for selectively closing electrical contacts situated on a plate (9), formed by a push-button (1) co-operating with a flat spring (3); the spring (3), fastened to a case (5) at one of its ends and attached to the push-button (1) at the other end, comprises strips (31, 32) formed by a series of loops (31i, 32i) giving it elasticity along the axis of the stem (11), and flexible lamellar extensions (35, 36, 38) outside the plane of the spring (3), by the action of the lugs (20, 21, 22) of the stem (11) when the push-button is moved in rotation and/or translation.
