Abstract
The invention concerns a particular link structure ( ) for a wristwatch including decorative elements made of hard materials such as ceramics. The sintering step carried out during manufacturing of these decorative elements increase the maximum uncertainties on their dimensions. The parts thereby obtained consequently do not have sufficiently precise dimensions to avoid the appearance of gaps at their common junctions. In order to overcome this drawback, the link ( ) according to the invention includes a mechanical device ( ) allowing a precise adjustment to be made of the relative positions of these different decorative elements and consequently continuous junctions to be obtained between them.
