Abstract:
1. A wrist-worn timepiece having a case, a timing element, and a wristband, the case comprising: a polymer element having (a) a first surface, (b) a second surface located opposite the first surface, (c) a side surface extending between the first surface and the second surface, (d) a depression that extends into the polymer element from the first surface, the depression being spaced inward from the side surface, and the depression receiving the timing element, and (e) a channel that extends into the polymer element from the first surface, the channel being spaced inward from the side surface, and the channel being located between the side surface and the depression; a transparent element located within the depression and adjacent to the timing element, the transparent element having a peripheral edge; and a metal element at least partially located within the channel and extending around at least a portion of the transparent element, the metal element having an interior surface defining an aperture, an entirety of the interior surface being spaced from the peripheral edge of the transparent element, wherein a portion of the polymer element is compressed between the transparent element and the metal element.
