<p>A wristwatch (10) comprising an outer face plate (20), an inner face plate (40), a watchhead (60), and a coupling mechanism (81, 82, 83) for coupling the outer face plate to the watchhead after the inner face plate has rotated so that the outer face plate, the inner face plate and the watchhead are in 'surface to surface' alignment and at least part of an opening (23) of the outer face plate, at least part of an opening (43) of the inner face plate and at least part of the watchface (63) are coaligned; whereby a decoupling of the coupling mechanism permits (a) the outer face plate to move out of 'surface to surface' alignment with the inner face plate and (b) the inner face plate to move out of 'surface to surface' alignment with the watchhead. In an alternate embodiment, a wristwatch (100) may comprise a watchstrap (180), a watchhead (120) and a buckle arrangement (140) for releasably securing the watchhead thereto, the buckle arrangement comprising a frame (141) for supporting the watchhead on one side thereof; a jaw member (142) rotatably coupled to the frame, and a latching mechanism (147, 148) for latching the jaw member to the frame; wherein the watchhead is releasably securable in the buckle arrangement intermediate the frame and the jaw member.</p> |
