Watch case including: a middle; at least one pair of horns intended to retain a wristwatch strap portion; the middle including a first lock member; and a second lock member mounted on the pair of horns and complementary to the first member to lock the pair of horns to the middle. The case also includes a manipulation member that can be manipulated by a user in order to move the second member between a locking position in which the members co-operate to maintain the pair of horns on the middle and a release position in which the pair of horns can be detached from the middle.

Watch case comprising removable horns

Connecting device allowing a releasable connection between a bracelet strap and a folding clasp including at least two articulated arms and two fastening portions capable of reversibly cooperating with each other. The connecting device includes a first connecting piece capable of being secured to the free end of the bracelet strap and a second connecting piece capable of being mounted on the fastening portion. The first connecting piece and the second connecting piece are configured to reversibly cooperate with each other between a first, open position allowing separation of the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece and a second, closed position in which the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece are locked together.

Connecting device for bracelet

Watch case including: a case middle; removable horns; and at least one nut. The nut is inserted in a housing formed in the thickness of the case middle. A nut portion protrudes to the outside of the case middle. A removable horn-retaining screw is engaged in each nut. The thickness required to accommodate the screw is not supported by the case middle, but by the projecting nut portion. It is thus possible to make case middles that are very thin, and therefore light-weight, while at the same time ensuring attachment of the horns to the case middle.
