A one-piece bar for attaching a bracelet to a watch, the bar extending in a longitudinal direction and comprising:
- two pivots and a body connecting the two pivots, each pivot being configured to be introduced into a corresponding housing of a respective horn of a watch case, the body comprising a plurality of elements connected to one another, each element having a hollowed portion, in order to give the bar longitudinal elasticity to allow elastic deformation thereof in the longitudinal direction,
- wherein each element comprises a peripheral frame having substantially the shape of a closed ‘M’ such that the peripheral frame surrounds the hollowed portion to have an ‘H’ shape with first and second legs extending in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and a third leg extending in the longitudinal direction to connect the first and second legs.
