Abstract
A watch bracelet, the arms of which comprise a series of links hinged to one another and each having an arched profile with a downwardly-opening longitudinal recess, thereby defining a groove extending along the series of links of each arm. A curved blade-spring lies against the bottom of each of these grooves for urging the arms to curl up. The first link of each arm is attached to a watch-case, and the urging action of the blade-springs in the arms causes the latter to tend to hug a wearer's wrist elastically so that no clasp is required.
