Strap for Horological Machine N°2 HM2 Only Watch 2009
Integrated bracelet: measurements, the most common questions, and the way to a made-to-measure strap.
Integrated bracelet
The MB&F Horological Machines 20.DWWTL.OW is designed with a bracelet integrated into the case. For a compatible made-to-measure strap, the Casati Milano atelier builds it on your watch.

Frequently asked questions
Can a standard strap be mounted on the MB&F Horological Machines 20.DWWTL.OW?
No, the lug is not an industrial standard but an integral part of the sculptural case. The solution is a bespoke strap, built directly on the watch by <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>. The atelier measures the attachment points directly and crafts the strap in constant dialogue with the case.
How does the bespoke strap process work for the 20.DWWTL.OW?
The process begins with precise measurement of the lug dimensions during an in-atelier consultation. Craftsmen measure depth, width, and insertion angle, then construct the strap directly on the case, ensuring perfect fit and total aesthetic coherence with the watch's geometry.
What type of leather best suits the character of the Horological Machines 20.DWWTL.OW?
Ideal leathers have well-defined fibrous structure and develop luminous patina with age: kudu, elk, deer in neutral tones (deep antique brown, warm grey, deep black). Avoid overly soft leathers that would deform under the weight of a 59mm case. Density must guarantee structural support and longevity.
How long does a bespoke strap from Casati Milano last?
A strap crafted with dense leather and proper stitching will last several years of regular wear with ordinary maintenance. Longevity depends on use, leather choice, and care: protect from excessive moisture and direct trauma. The patina that forms over time is a sign of noble natural ageing.
Why was the 20.DWWTL.OW designed with a non-standard lug attachment?
The lug integrated into the case is a consequence of MB&F's radical design philosophy: every structural element serves both technical function and aesthetic purpose. The three-dimensional case rejects convention, and the strap attachment reflects this sculptural approach. The bespoke strap is the only solution coherent with the project's identity.
