Abstract
A watchband supporting a watch which provides a pliant and ductile characteristic permitting it to be flexed and maintained between a straight position and a position around a wrist. A ball point pen having a flexible barrel portion is accommodated within the watchband with its point extending from one end of the band. An end cap mounted on the band includes a pivoted knob which can selectively expose or enclose the point of the pen and can provide access to the ballpoint pen.
