Clasps are the fastening mechanism for bracelet watches. There are many types of Clasps:-
Deployment Buckle:
A three-folding enclosure, which secures the two ends of the bracelet and allows enough room for placing the watch on the wrist when fully deployed. When closed, the Buckle covers the two-piece folding mechanism.
Fold-Over Buckle:
See Deployment Buckle
Hook Lock:
Two separate units each fitting on either end of the bracelet which allows the watch to be laid out. One end of the closure hooks onto the other to secure the two ends of the bracelet.
Jeweler's Clasp:
A closure that is generally used on better bracelets. Also allows it to lie flat.
Sliding Clasp:
Also a hook type method but allows for easy sizing of the bracelet by sliding up.
Twist Lock:
A closure similar to Jeweler's Clasp used on ladies jewelry bracelets. |
