A watch band is disclosed. The watch band maintains a substantially constant tension throughout changes in its length while worn by a user. Such changes in length may occur automatically to accommodate changes in the size and circumference of a user's wrist as they move their wrist normally. By maintaining a constant tension, the watch band also maintains a constant force on the user's wrist, and causes a watch body attached to the watch band to also maintain a constant force on the user's wrist. This can increase a user's comfort, since the watch will not get tighter or constrict their wrist as they straighten and bend their wrist. It can also help optimize operation of any sensors in the watch band or watch body that benefit from being held against the user's wrist with a constant force, such as some physiological sensors.

A band includes first and second pin member including first and second pin, an operation member that moves between first and second positions, a housing including a coupling part and an engaging part, and a guide part that guides and moves the first and second pin members between an engagement position and a release position. The first and second pin members move to the engagement position when the operation member is moved to the first position, whereas move to the release position when the operation member is moved to the second position. The engagement/release position is a position where each pin is located outside/outside the side surface of the housing in the width direction, and the engagement/release position is closer to the coupling/engaging part than the release/engagement position in the longitudinal direction.

A quick release system for an interchangeable watch strap on a clasp, the quick release system including an end link for securing the watch strap on the clasp, the end link including a body and two lateral end piece placed on each side of the body, a first lateral end piece being in one piece with the body and a mobile end piece, able to slide away from the body, a first bar including a first end being fixed to the first lateral end piece and a second free end cooperating with a bore of the mobile end piece; a second bar extending from the first end piece, including a first end able to slide inside the first end piece, and a second end articulated to the mobile end piece; a retaining stem arranged coaxial and fixed to the second bar.

A method for assembling at least a first element and a second element to form, once assembled, an external component for a portable device, including the steps of: a) making the first element; b) making the second element; c) arranging at least a first groove in the first element and at least a second groove in the second element; d) placing and holding the first and second element end-to-end with at least a third connecting element which is inserted and locked in the first and second grooves.

Assembly screw (1) for the pivoting attachment of at least two horology components in a position of assembly, the assembly screw (1) comprising at least one guide portion (3) allowing one of the horology components to pivot, and at least one threaded portion (4) allowing it to be fixed to another horology component, wherein this screw comprises a shoulder (5) intended to come into abutment against this other horology component and a zone (10) of lower mechanical rigidity to reduce the contact pressure applied at the shoulder (5) of the assembly screw when the horology components are in the position of assembly.
