Abstract
A watch body for an electronic watch containing an integrated circuit chip and a printed circuit board is disclosed. The watch body comprises an upper case and a bottom cover which are selectively interconnected one with the other. A lead package frame is sandwiched between the upper case and the bottom cover and contains a plurality of electrical leads disposed thereon and electrically coupled to the integrated circuit chip. The lead frame has first and second sides with the first side having a first cavity with the integrated circuit chip matingly engaged therein. The plurality of leads are disposed on the first side of the lead frame so as to surround this first cavity down the circuit chip. The second side of the lead frame has a second cavity with the printed circuit board disposed therein. By the use of the watch body of the instant invention, a significantly smaller number of components, a simpler manufacturing process is achieved.
