DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0025] Referring now to the accompanying figures, we will describe exemplary embodiments of the parametrizable wrist watch of the present invention, so that it is fully understood.

[0026] The parametrizable wrist watch consists of a strap (1), FIG. 1 and a detachable indication mechanism (2). The detachable indication mechanism (2) of the watch consists of a base (3), FIG. 3, in which the function mechanism (4) of the watch is mounted. Above that, a glass (5) for the protection of the function mechanism (4) and a flange (13) for full sealing are positioned, while a mounting ring (6) constitutes the connecting element with the base (3) of the watch. The connection is achieved by threads (7) on the mounting ring (6), FIG. 4, with which it is screwed to the base (3), which also has corresponding threads (8), FIG. 5. This allows combining various elements, such as the base (3), the function mechanism (4), the glass (5) and the mounting ring (6) depending on the individual demands and choices of the user.

[0027] Thus, in an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the mounting ring (6) may be made of steel, however in other exemplary embodiments it is made of brass, wood, plastic or other suitable material. Furthermore, it may have various colors, inscriptions or decorations with precious stones, depending on the respective choices. It may also have an octagonal shape, or a circular shape and various size, as long as the other parts have such dimensions so that they assembled between them. Similarly, the glass (5) may be made of tempered glass, coloured glass, with patterns or clear, however it may also be made of other materials, exemplarily plastic or polycarbonate. In another exemplary embodiment, the function mechanism (4) may be analogue or digital, without affecting the function of the watch.

[0028] The base (3) has at its lower part sockets (9), FIG. 7, by which it is snapped on the connection buttons (10) on a surface (11), FIG. 2. The surface (11) is essentially an extension or part of the strap (1). The sockets (9) allow easy mounting of the detachable indication mechanism (2) to the individually used strap (1). By this way, any combination of the available parts may be made, so that the watch has the elements that the owner desires. In alternative embodiments of the invention, the base (3) has, instead of sockets (9), the connection buttons (10) and the surface (11) has the sockets (9), while it may also have for example magnets so that it is connected to a corresponding magnet on the surface (11) or alternatively respective Velcro may also be used.

[0029] In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the strap (1), may consist of two different parts which are connected by a means of a pin passing through the elongate holes (12) to the surface (11) before the indication mechanism (2) selected by the user is snapped on the button. In another exemplary embodiment of the invention the strap (1) does not have a separate snapping, but may be a single one, FIG. 6, and on its upper part the connection buttons (10) are provided by means of which it is connected to the indication mechanism (2). In this way, when the user wants to take off the watch, he simply removed the indication mechanism (2) from the connection buttons (10) and then removed the strap (1) from his hand. In another exemplary embodiment of the invention, the strap (1) may be metallic bracelet with a single snapping, while it should be noted that straps made of leather, fabric, cloth or silicon may be used according to the individual selections by the manufacturer.

[0030] It should be noted that the description of the invention was made with reference to exemplary, non-limiting embodiments. Thus any variation or modification as regards shape, dimensions, construction/assemblage materials and components used, as long as not constituting a new and inventive step and not contributing to the technical advance of the already known, are considered as encompassed in the scope of the present invention.
