ABSTRACT:
A horologe, such as a watch or a clock, includes a body housing a horological mechanism and having a substantially flat outer surface, a stem extending in a perpendicular direction from the outer surface, at least one hand attached to the stem and extending in a direction parallel to the outer surface. A rim extends around the periphery of the body, wherein a portion of the rim is removable from the body. An outer transparent crystal and inner transparent cover is attached to the non-removable portion of the rim above the outer surface. The crystal is disposed above the hand and the cover is disposed below the hand and above the outer surface. A thin, substantially flat removable face is adapted for insertion in and removal from the space between the outer surface and the inner transparent cover below the hand. The face is made of flexible, resilient material having an aperture in the center of the face sufficient in size to permit the stem to extend therethrough and having a hairline cut extending radially from the aperture to the perimeter of the face. Two flexible, resilient tabs are attached to the two ends of the removable portion of the rim for engagement with and attachment to the non-removable portion of the rim.
