Abstract
The clasp wristlet is of the unfolding buckle type comprising first (4) and second (3) strips hinged to each other and comprising a catch fastening (17, 23). At one end (25) of the second strip (3) a cover (19) is mounted so as to pivot, said cover having an opening (21) in which a projecting portion (8) of said second strip is capable of being inserted. When the clasp is in a closed position, the upper face (26) of said projecting portion (8) is situated at substantially the same level as the upper face (27) of the cover (19). In this manner the thickness of the clasp is reduced. The clasp may advantageously be used for a watch wristlet.
