Abstract
The electronic watch movement components (11, 12) of the watch are mounted on a flexible printed circuit film (10), which is then incorporated in the wristband (1) by overmoulding of an insulating elastomeric material. External elements in the form of cases (2-4) are mounted in a sealed manner on the wristband to protect said components and to cover at least a display unit (20) and an electric power source (15). Decorative elements (5) similar to the cases are distributed along the wristband to imitate links. Such a wristwatch may be manufactured at a low cost.
