<p>The watchcase has the upper face of its caseband wholly covered by the glass composed of: an outer plate of transparent material; a smaller transparent plate centrally glued to the inner face of the outer plate for securing the glass to the caseband by its insertion in the caseband opening, and an ornamental opaque fitting in the form of a frame also glued to the outer plate, radially some distance apart from the smaller transparent plate. This fitting may consist either wholly of a transparent body opacified by a vaporized layer or partly of a transparent body, under which a precious or semi-precious stone is glued, or of a metallic or ceramic body. Like a bezel, it determines the aspect of the visible watchcase face while the watch is worn. Every piece of a series of identical watchcases can be given an original appearance simply by gluing a particular fitting to the glass.</p> |
