A watch strap with a plurality of quickly interchangeable, decorative plates attached to express a person's characteristic or style. The watch strap allows for the removal of decorative plates on the watch strap via manipulating a tab attached to the plates. Another variation of the invention is to depress a button, attached to the plate, beneath the watch strap. The plates may also be removably secured via a plurality of screws.

A metallic mesh material used to form a portion of a band or securing strap for a wearable electronic device. The band may include a magnetic tab for securing a wearable device to the wrist of a user. The tab may include one or magnetic elements that are configured to engage a surface of the mesh to secure the wearable device to the wrist of a user.

An item includes at least two sets of assembled elements that are connected to each other by a permanent securing device. The permanent securing device includes a pin mounted in a through hole of a central element of a set. This pin is mounted at each end in a blind recess of a side element belonging to another set. At one end, the pin is secured in the blind recess by a locking device, for example by a screw connection. At its other end, it is welded to a socket which is itself secured by a locking device in the blind recess of the side element.

A bracelet having articulated links, including an articulation between a first link and a second link including a tongue that pivots in an opening between side flanges of this first link together forming a double clevis fitting, wherein, in the articulation, the first link or respectively the second link includes at least one external trunnion or respectively at least one internal trunnion arranged to pivot in an internal half-bearing of the second link, or respectively in an external half-bearing of the first link, the second link or respectively the first link includes at least an upper part and a lower part arranged to enclose and conceal therebetween each external trunnion or respectively each internal trunnion.

A band-type electronic device and a method for configuration of a flexible circuit board in a band-type electronic device are disclosed. The band-type electronic device includes a plurality of segments connected with each other in a band-like shape, a plurality of electronic components arranged in the plurality of segments, and a flexible circuit board connected to the plurality of electronic components arranged in the plurality of segments, wherein the flexible circuit board is partly deformed into a meandering shape in at least one of the plurality of segments.
