Abstract
A watch case includes a structure arranged to support a watch movement, and a middle with an outer envelope connected to the structure and arranged to house the structure. The envelope comprises a network of articulated elements which form an outer wall of the outer envelope. The articulated elements are able to move with respect to one another so that the outer wall is deformable.

A watch case comprising:
- a structure arranged to support a watch movement, and
- a caseband comprising an outer envelope connected to said structure and arranged to house said structure, said envelope comprising a network of articulated elements which together form an outer wall of the outer envelope, the elements hinged are movable relative to each other and hinged to each other so as to make said outer wall deformable, and said articulated elements being interconnected to each other throughout the network via interlacings to form a continuous deformable mesh structure.
A watch case comprising a bottom, a structure intended to support a watch movement, a crystal closing, and a middle part comprising a deformable outer envelope housing the structure, so as to allow relative movement between the bottom and the crystal closing, and said outer envelope comprising a network of articulated elements that are interconnected to each other throughout the network via interlacings to form a continuous deformable mesh structure.
A jewel comprising a fastening or connecting member and a body comprising an outer casing comprising a network of articulated elements which together form an outer wall of the outer casing, the articulated elements being movable relative to each other so as to make said outer wall deformable, and said articulated elements being interconnected to each other throughout the network via interlacings to form a continuous deformable mesh structure.
