Deployant Buckle?
A buckle that fastens to the watch strap and opens and fastens using hinged extenders. Invented by Louis Cartier in 1910. A deployant buckle is easier to put on and remove than a strap. Deployant comes from the verb "deployer" which means to unfold. Sometimes mistakenly referred to as a "deployment" clasp.

Relax TNY.

I was searching for a definition of the word and came across this on a manufacturer's site. Why? Deployment is in my dictionary on my computer, but deployant is not.

It has nothing to do with being right. That is why I didn't post it in the other thread. I was just curious about where the word came from, etc. and wanted to share my findings with others here. :)

Yes, I used bold text to emphasize deployant vs. deployment. So, shoot me. :D
