Abstract
The invention concerns a miniature pushbutton for a timepiece and includes head portion (1) associated with a socket (2) force fitted into a caseband (15). Considered in isolation it constitutes a dormant corrector since it lacks a return spring thus permitting a considerable reduction in its dimensions. The head portion including stem is fashioned in a manner to permit assembly and disassembly from the timepiece exterior thus facilitating these operations. A retention system is provided which prevents inadvertent separation of the head-stem portion from the socket. Such pushbutton may be advantageously employed in extra thin timepieces.
