Elongation

IT: Allungamento - elasticità

Definition

Elongation is a fundamental concept for anyone like me who creates and collects straps. This term refers to a material's ability to stretch under tension, a crucial aspect when it comes to comfort and adaptability on the wrist. In straps, elongation influences the choice of materials: leather, rubber and technical fabrics offer different wearing experiences. The history of elongation in straps is linked to the evolution of materials, with the introduction of new technologies that improve resilience and durability. For anyone looking for a strap that adapts perfectly, elongation is a factor to consider carefully. Discover our straps that offer the right balance between elasticity and resistance.

Frequently asked questions

What is elongation?

Elongation is a fundamental concept for anyone like me who creates and collects straps. Also known as elasticity, flexibility, extensibility.

Why choose elongation for a Milano Straps strap?

Because I only select traceable, hand-finished leathers: they are soft on the skin, resist sweat and develop an elegant patina with use.

How do I pair elongation with my watch?

I pair it with vintage and contemporary cases by choosing the right thickness and a hypoallergenic lining to respect the character of the timepiece.

The next step

The right strap isn't chosen. It is built, together.
