Abstract

Abstract A watchband in which an articulated hook and safety catch assembly for joining two ends of watchband halves has a safety catch forming a frame and housing for removably receiving a box carrying a stack or pad of calendar sheets or the like so as to permit the uppermost sheet to be viewed by the person wearing the watch. The safety catch and hook assembly can readily be released without releasing the box. At the same time, when the catch is released, the box is readily removable for replacement of the uppermost sheet. The arrangement is simple, compact, inexpensive and attractive.
