Watch Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention has for its object to provide a ready means of securely attaching

the case around the said Hange forming a clamp in which is gripped as by an eyelet,
the edge of an aperture made in the back of the glove or other article to which the
watch is to be attached. This aperture corresponds in diameter to the flange on
the watch case which is inserted through it from the rear, the said aperture being
preferably strengthened by a surrounding perforated flat metal ring which is
stitched to the glove or other article, and is covered by the rim portion of the
bezel which is hollowed at back to enclose it.
