Please tell the hosts that watches have deployant clasps, not deployment clasps.

Google ""deployment clasp"". Looks like the terms are used interchangeably.

It is French. If a very knowledgable person is discussing a watch, you'll hear it pronounced deployant.

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.

It seems to be controversial and both are used but originally goes back to the French.
