Definition
A handcrafted finish obtained by methodically striking the leather surface with a specialized hammer, creating a pattern of uniform small dimples. This technique gives the watch strap a rustic and vintage appearance, enhancing the natural beauty of the leather and elegantly concealing imperfections. It is one of the most noble and recognizable finishes of the Italian tradition.
