ABSTRACT:
A watch having a face and a case of circular profile surrounding the face. The case includes a circular raceway and a plurality of separate decorative inserts, each in the shape of a linguistic element, e.g., a letter of the alphabet or a symbol, e.g., a heart, denoting a word or a concept. The raceway is disposed under a transparent bezel immediately adjacent the periphery of the case. The inserts are arranged to be slidably mounted in the raceway in any predetermined order to establish a predetermined message, e.g., a person's name, so that the message carried by the insert can be slid about the entire circumference of the case to be displayed at any orientation. The inserts are held in a predetermined orientation, i.e., their tops are directed radially away from the center of the watch so that the message is readily readable irrespective of its location along the periphery of the watch.
