Strap for Horological Machine N°1 HM1 White Gold

No, the bracelet is integrated into the white gold case structure. The lugs are not standard: a conventional strap won't attach. In the atelier, I build the strap directly onto your case, with bespoke lugs that respect the original architecture.

I work by appointment only at <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>. I take measurements directly from your case, study the topography of the white gold sculpture, and hand-craft the lugs. Every strap is born from your specific watch, not the other way around.

I prefer Alligator Mississippi or Barenia for this case. The HM10 is audacious, sculptural, almost brutal in its geometry. It needs leather that speaks the same language: robust, with a grain that breathes movement. Iced alligator dialogues perfectly with white gold without softening the vision.

With daily wear and minimal care — wipe with a soft cloth, protect from extreme humidity — a strap in rare leather lasts 4 to 6 years before refinishing. Leather ages well, develops patina, tells a story. That's not weakness: that's character.

Maximilian Büsser doesn't design conventional watches. The HM10 is a mechanical sculpture where every curve has purpose. An industrial strap betrays this radical vision. Craftsmanship isn't luxury: it's aesthetic and functional coherence with what you wear on your wrist.
