Strap for Horological Machine N°4 HM4 Razzle Dazzle
Integrated bracelet: measurements, the most common questions, and the way to a made-to-measure strap.
Integrated bracelet
The MB&F Horological Machines 41.TSL.BRD 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 you fit a standard strap on the MB&F Horological Machines 41.TSL.BRD?
No. The bracelet is integrated into the titanium case: the lugs are proprietary and a commercial strap won't fit. I've learned to work with the unique geometry of this machine. At the atelier, I build the strap directly onto the case, measurement by measurement.
How does the custom strap work for this model?
You bring the watch to the bench at <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Atelier Casati Milano</a>. I take the measurements in person, study the curve of the case, and build the strap specifically for those lugs. By appointment only: each piece is an exception, never a series.
Which leather do I recommend for the MB&F Horological Machines 41.TSL.BRD?
I favour Mississippi Alligator or naturally aged Barenia. This watch breathes titanium and aerospace engineering: the leather must be sporty, understated, and age with character. I don't chase false softness. The leather must hold its own against what sits on your wrist.
How long does a well-made strap last?
Five to ten years, depending on use and how you care for it. Quality leather ages in a predictable way: colour evolves, creases become part of the story. If you clean it occasionally and let it breathe, the strap won't break. It dies beautifully.
Why do MB&F proprietary lugs require a different approach?
Maximilian Büsser designed the case as if it were a single sculpture. The lugs aren't right angles: they follow the titanium's curve. Understanding them takes time at the bench, not measurements from a chart. I find it fascinating: every detail tells how this object was conceived.
The next step
The right strap isn't chosen. It is built, together.
