Abstract

A wristwatch (1) whose wristband (6) is attached to a support (3) with respect to which the case (2) can be reversed in the longitudinal direction to show one or other of its faces (16, 17). The case has a pointed profile at its ends, its faces (16, 17) having convex profiles, which are preferably similar. The bottom (4) of the support (3) is concave so as to have a substantially complementary profile to those of the faces of the case. Further, the lateral flanges (7) of the support have substantially the same convex profile, so that the case and the support are substantially flush with each other over the entire length of the case, thus giving a fluid attractive appearance to the watch and to the reversing movement of the case.
