Abstract
A mechanism for connecting ornamental parts of wrist watches that permit easily connecting and disconnecting ornamental parts without using any special tool and without marring the appearance of wrist watches. A stepped pin is inserted in a larger-diameter bore of a cocoon-shaped ring fitted in an end piece and a bore in a watch casing. Then, a smaller-diameter part of the stepped pin is moved into a smaller-diameter bore by pulling the watch casing and a band longitudinally. With the stepped pin thus securely held in place, the watch casing and band are firmly connected.
