what is a watch-style clasp called?

I want to replace a magnetic clasp on a bracelet with the style of clasp that you often see on metal watches. It is not a belt clasp like you see on a leather or cloth watch strap. It is a hinge-style clasp. Like this:

Update:

I know the link says "jewelry clasp" but when I search that on craft/jewelry sites I get every kind of clasp. What specifically can I type in to buy this specific type of clasp and do you know where I can buy one?

Update 2:

Thanks. I never found what it's called but I did find some I can order.

    I know what you mean, but I do not have a name for it, hinge clasp is close.

    Take the picture to your local jeweler, who could give you a name, and help you find the part.
