Timepiece or piece of jewellery
A timepiece or piece of jewelry includes a structure with a set of horns carrying a bar receiving a removable snap-hook fixed to a strand. The bar includes, at a distance from each of the points of attachment to the set of horns, a notch including two sides which limit the lateral travel of a curved beak portion of the snap-hook and limit the angular travel of the snap-hook with respect to the bar, so as to prevent any contact between the snap-hook and the set of horns to which the bar is fixed.
ACCESSORY SUITABLE FOR BEING MOUNTED ON DIFFERENT ATTACHMENT ELEMENTS
An accessory having a first face and a second face connected by a lateral face, the second face having a slot extending to the lateral face, forming on the lateral face a hole the shape defined by the transverse cross-section of the slot. The transverse cross-section has an open contour having a bottom and an opening connected by a first lateral side and a second lateral side, the first lateral side and the second lateral side each having a part approaching from the bottom towards the opening, towards the opposite lateral side. The dimension of the bottom of the contour are constant along a direction defined by a direction extending substantially perpendicular to the transverse cross-section and going from the hole towards an inner part of the accessory. The slot is intended to receive a fastener.
