US 2026/0130474 A1 · ADJUSTABLE WATCH CLASP AND METHOD OF USING THEREOF

Abstract

An adjustable watch clasp and a method of using thereof are disclosed. The adjustable watch clasp may have a first clasp section and a second clasp section. The first clasp section may be part of a suspension system that actively adjusts the spacing between the first clasp section and an adjacent watch band link to provide needed spacing when a user is wearing a watch band with the adjustable watch clasp. The active adjustment may be needed for when the user wearing the watch band jerks or accelerates his or her wrist and the first clasp section and the adjacent link need to expand away from each other to create spacing for the tightness of the watch band to not bother the user. The second clasp section may have a micro-adjuster mechanism that allows the user to manually adjust the tightness of the watch band having the second clasp section.
