Abstract
The device for fixing a wristband to a watch middle includes a connecting element () for connection to a wristband () or a watch middle (), at least one pin () able to occupy two positions, one projecting from the connecting element () and another retracted into a housing () of the connecting element (), and a receiving element () for connection to a watch middle () or a wristband (), having at least one bore (). The fixing device includes at least one insert (), and is designed to occupy at least two configurations: a first configuration in which the at least one pin () occupies a position retracted into the connecting element (), enabling a wristband to be separated from a watch middle, and a second configuration in which the at least one pin () occupies a position projecting from the connecting element and is positioned in the at least one bore () of the receiving element (), the at least one insert () forming an interface between the at least one pin () and the at least one bore () and/or the housing () to minimize frictional wear on rotation of the at least one pin () relative to the receiving element () and/or the connecting element () respectively.
