View Patent ↗One-piece and two-piece watchbands may be quickly and easily installed on a watch of the wearer's choice and may just as easily be removed and replaced with another watchband to provide color and style coordination with other items of the wearer's chosen wardrobe.
1. A quick-change two-piece watchband for attachment to a watchcasing, comprising:
a watchcasing having a first watchcasing pin at a first end thereof and having a second watchcasing pin at a second opposite end thereof;
a first piece of said two-piece watchband having a length of a hook and loop fastener material on a bottom surface thereof proximate an end thereof to be attached to said first end of said watchcasing, the hook and loop fastener material serving to secure said first piece in a desired position after said end of said first piece has been threaded behind said first watchcasing pin;
a second piece of said two-piece watchband having a length of a hook and loop fastener material on a bottom surface thereof proximate an end thereof to be attached to said second end of said watchcasing, the hook and loop fastener material serving to secure said second piece in a desired position after said end of said second piece has been threaded behind said second watchcasing pin; and a security device slideably positioned on each of said first and second pieces of said two-piece watchband proximate said watchcasing for providing added security to said hook and loop fastener material for holding each of said first and second pieces of said two-piece watchband in said desired position.
2. A method for attaching a two-piece watchband to a watchcasing, comprising:
providing a watchcasing having a first watchcasing pin at a first end thereof and having a second watchcasing pin at a second opposite end thereof;
providing a first piece of said two-piece watchband having a length of a hook and loop fastener material on a bottom surface thereof proximate an end thereof to be attached to said first end of said watchcasing;
threading said end of said first piece to be attached to said first end of said watchcasing downward and behind said first watchcasing pin;
folding said end of said first piece against itself after being threaded behind said first watchcasing pin for engaging said hook and loop fastener material to thereby secure said first piece in a desired position;
providing a second piece of said two-piece watchband having a length of a hook and loop fastener material on a bottom surface thereof proximate an end thereof to be attached to said second end of said watchcasing;
threading said end of said second piece to be attached to said second end of said watchcasing downward and behind said second watchcasing pin;
folding said end of said second piece against itself after it has been threaded behind said second watchcasing pin for engaging said hook and loop fastener material to thereby secure said second piece in a desired positions;
providing a security device on each of said first and second pieces of said two-piece watchband proximate said watchcasing; and
sliding said security devices over said first and second pieces, respectively, after they have been folded against each other, to additionally secure said first and second pieces in said desired positions.
