Abstract

Abstract Generally speaking, the present invention comprises a method for securing a timepiece to a display unit. The timepiece includes a head and a strap, and the display unit includes a member adapted to support the timepiece. The method includes the steps of: arranging the timepiece upon the member; affixing a security device to a securing means; and securing the securing means about the strap of the timepiece and a portion of the member, wherein the timepiece is secured to the member by the securing means. In one embodiment, the method includes the step of affixing the security device to the securing means by means of an adhesive. For example, the securing means is an adhesive layer having a center portion, a first side flap and a second side flap opposite the first side flap, and the method includes an initial step of tapering the ends of the first and second side flaps opposite the center portion. In another embodiment, the method for securing a timepiece to a display unit includes the steps of: arranging the timepiece upon the member; providing a securing means about the strap of the timepiece and a portion of the member, wherein the timepiece is secured to the member by the securing means; and providing a security device and securing the security device intermediate the member and the strap by the securing means.
