bezels

Watch crystal holders

Bezels are the rims or frames that hold something in place.

A bezel secures a gemstone in its setting or holds the glass face of a watch.

In electronics, the bezel is the frame surrounding a screen—the border around a monitor, phone display, or dashboard instrument.

Manufacturers tout "thin bezels" or "bezelless" designs that maximize screen area: The new model has almost no bezel.
