Abstract
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.
