Abstract
A method for assembling a glass () to a case () by bonding provides for a flange () that is separate from the case and sized so as to be able to be forcibly inserted into an opening in the case, this opening bounding an annular surface () on the inside. The flange is partially inserted into the opening and the adhesive () is applied to the annular surface, then the glass is correctly placed on the flange and pressure is exerted on the glass such that the insertion of the flange into said opening continues until the adhesive covers a peripheral lower surface () of the inner face () of the glass facing the annular surface. Finally, the adhesive hardens and thus forms a tight joint between the glass and the watch case.
