Watch adaptable to being worn on the wrist and around the neck
| Details |
Inventors: Tschanz, Pierre;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Roskoski; Bernard
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Cushman, Darby & Cushman
The case (1) of the watch carries, along its periphery (5), hooking members in the form of rings (6a, 6a', 6b, 6b', 6c, 6c'), these rings being disposed radially relative to the center (7) of the dial (2) and hence of the watch. A chain (8) is fixed by loops (9, 10) at its ends to two (6c, 6c') of these rings and passes through the other rings (6a, 6a', 6b, 6b'), passing several of times around the wearer's wrist. After the loops (9, 10) have been detached from their respective rings, the chain (8) can be passed in a different manner around the case, so that the watch can be hung around the neck. In order to make this change, the chain is equipped with a flat link (13) which can pass through radial slots provided in the periphery of the rings. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A watch adaptable to be worn on the wrist and around the neck, comprising: a case housing a watch movement, a dial and hands; a plurality of rings disposed symmetrically around the periphery of the case; and a chain or selectively retained by the rings, said chain being retained by less than said plurality of rings to thereby be effectively lengthened for wear around the neck or being retained by said plurality of rings to thereby be effectively shortened for wear around the wrist, at least some of said rings being provided with a slot through which said chain may pass so as to be selectively retained by the rings, the chain including at least one link having a thickness less than the width of the slot so as to allow said at least one link to pass therethrough.
2.
A watch according to claim 1, wherein each ring is fixed to the case in such a manner that it is situated in a plane that is radially related to the dial, each plane passing through the center of the dial.
3.
A watch according to claim 1, wherein the chain has first and second ends that are attached to two of the rings.
Description:
The invention relates to a watch which can be worn in a variety of ways.
The watch comprises: a case for housing the movement, the dial and the hands; a chain; and a series of rings provided on the case and adapted to receive the chain in such a manner that it is possible to wear the watch either on the wrist or with the chain around the neck.
Watches which can be worn in a variety of ways are already known, that is to say watches which can selectively be worn on the wrist with the aid of a bracelet or suspended by means of a chain or ribbon passing around the neck.
However, in order to change the manner in which these watches are worn, one of the devices for wearing the watch, for example the bracelet, must be removed, and the chain attached, or vice versa, which is not only complicated but also makes is necessary for the wearer to carry on his or her person the device not in use at the time in question
