Abstract
A device for attaching a bracelet or strap to a watch case includes a bar secured to the watch case by at least one horn and an insert integral with the end of the bracelet. The bar and the insert are complementary in order to cooperate by fitting one inside the other to form a removable assembly to make the bracelet interchangeable. The bar is formed by a cylindrical arbor having at least one flat portion. The flat portion cooperates by fitting with a housing made in the insert. The housing has a substantially rectangular opening for receiving the flat portion. The bar includes a control member for pivoting the bar from a first position A, in which the insert is positioned on the arbor, to a second position B, in which the insert is locked onto the bar.
