Behind the watch case (3; 5, 7, 9) is a retaining means (11) which is hinged at one end (17) to said case by a hinge (13) extending transversely with respect to the line of the strap (C), at a limited distance from the rear surface of said case in order to allow the strap to be passed through; said retaining means (11) can be closed against the case in order to grip the strap (which is thus easy to replace) and is positionable at a limited angle with respect to the case, such that it can be stood on a surface like a little table-top clock.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A wristwatch comprising a watch case and a strap cooperatively associated therewith for attaching the wristwatch to a wrist,said watch case comprising a pair of top and bottom coinciding portions hinged together by a hinge and having a space therebetween to permit the passage of a strap therethrough, such that when the hinged watch case is closed, the strap is held fast by the wristwatch case,said hinged watch case being characterized by retaining means for supporting said watch in an upright position and retained in that position following removal of the strap,said retaining means being disposed opposite the hinge and having means for providing snap retention of the top and bottom portions of the coinciding portions of said hinged watch case for the removal thereof,said retaining means also including an essentially laminar part having limited deformability,said wristwatch having at least one spring-loaded retaining pin for cooperatively engaging an indentation in the vicinity of the hinge in order to provide limited angular position of the wristwatch in the upright position on a surface,said wristwatch also having a crossbar corresponding to a pivot between the said retaining means and the watch case shaped to increase the amount of available space for insertion of said strap between the case and the crossbar when said retaining means is in an angular position.
