Abstract
A timepiece or piece of jewelry includes a structure with a set of horns carrying a bar receiving a removable snap-hook fixed to a strand. The bar includes, at a distance from each of the points of attachment to the set of horns, a notch including two sides which limit the lateral travel of a curved beak portion of the snap-hook and limit the angular travel of the snap-hook with respect to the bar, so as to prevent any contact between the snap-hook and the set of horns to which the bar is fixed.
