Integrated bracelet: measurements, the most common questions, and the way to a made-to-measure strap.

Integrated bracelet

The MB&F Horological Machines 35.WTL.B 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.

The Horological Machines 35.WTL.B, seen from the bench

The Horological Machine HM3 represents MB&F's unconventional approach to time measurement, with indications for hours, minutes, day/night, date and power reserve. The timepiece is powered by the in-house developed MB&F HM3 calibre. The reference 35.WTL.B features the three-dimensional design that is characteristic of the brand's Horological Machines collection.

Frequently asked questions

Can you fit a standard strap to the MB&F Horological Machines 35.WTL.B?

No, the bracelet is integrated into the case and uses a proprietary attachment — a standard strap won't fit. For this model I work differently: I build a bespoke strap directly in the atelier, crafting the specific attachment directly onto your case.

How does the bespoke strap process work for this watch?

You meet me at <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, by appointment only. I take measurements directly from your case, study the attachment architecture and hand-build the strap. It's pure craft, nothing standardised.

Which leather do I recommend for the MB&F Horological Machines 35.WTL.B?

I favour Mississippi Alligator in black, or fumé Barenia. These leathers have the structure and nobility that a case like this deserves — black speaks cleanly with titanium, fumé brings warmth beside white gold. They age with character.

How long does a well-made strap last?

With a properly crafted strap, between four and seven years of daily wear. It depends how you treat it: avoid water, protect it from direct sun, clean it with a soft cloth. Leather ages and develops patina — that's part of its beauty, not a flaw.

Why did MB&F choose this integrated case architecture?

To protect the design's radicality. The HM3 FrogX is an orbital sculpture — by integrating the bracelet, MB&F prevented anyone from 'normalising' it with a generic strap. It's an act of design coherence, very MB&F.

The next step

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

From the atelier appointment to delivery, every step is made for those who know that things done well take time. Rare leathers, one piece at a time, eighteen months of warranty.
