Abstract: A timepiece component, having a first part and a removable cap, which is able to adopt a fastening configuration in which the removable cap is fastened to the first part, and a free configuration in which the cap is separated from the first part. The first part comprises at least two latching members intended to cooperate with at least two corresponding assembly members of the cap in the fastening configuration. The cap or the first part is elastically deformable from a rest position to a deformed position which allows for positioning and removing for passing from the fastening configuration to the free configuration of the timepiece component and vice versa The rest position allows stably maintain the fastening configuration of the timepiece component in which the at least two assembly members of the cap arc in engagement with the at least two latching members of the first part.

Abstract: A timepiece component having a first part and a removable cap which can adopt a fastening configuration and a free configuration. The first part comprises at least one first latching member and a movable lock. The cap comprises at least one first assembly member designed to cooperate with the first latching member of the first part, and a second assembly member designed to cooperate with the movable lock. In the fastening configuration, the first latching member of the first part and the first assembly member of the cap are in engagement. The movable lock is in engagement with the second assembly member of the cap. The cap is fastened in a locked manner to the first part. In the free configuration, the movable lock occupies an open position in which it releases the second assembly member of the cap and allows the cap to be separated from the first part.
