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

Integrated bracelet

The MB&F Horological Machines 70.TGL.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 70.TGL.B, seen from the bench

The MB&F Horological Machine HM7 represents an unconventional timepiece that interprets time through innovative forms. It features the MB&F HM7 caliber with a tourbillon escapement, hour and minute indications. The mechanics are enclosed in a case with a distinctive geometry that reflects the conceptual approach of the Swiss brand.

Frequently asked questions

Can I fit a standard strap to the MB&F Horological Machines 70.TGL.B?

No. The bracelet is integrated into the case—there are no lugs or standard spring bars like on traditional watches. I've seen clients attempt workarounds that simply don't work. For this model, the only sensible approach is to build a custom strap directly on the watch.

How does the custom strap work for the 70.TGL.B?

We work exclusively at <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, by appointment only. I take the watch in hand, study the titanium case geometry, measure every contour and junction. Then I construct the lugs in the workshop, shaping everything by hand because the case doesn't follow standard proportions. It's pure tailoring.

Which leather would I choose for this watch?

Mississippi alligator. This piece has a sporting character, almost instrument-like, yet with extreme aesthetic refinement. Alligator holds that tension between rigour and elegance: its grain is decisive, its resistance to wear is superior, and it ages with a patina that records time just as the titanium case records movement.

How long does a well-made strap last?

It depends on use and care. A strap in good leather, worn regularly and tended with sense, lasts eight to ten years before serious wear shows. Leather ages, loses shine, develops creases: this isn't a flaw, it's memory. If you protect it from moisture and clean it occasionally with a soft cloth, that memory becomes part of the watch's story.

Why does the 70.TGL.B have such an unconventional shape?

Maximilian Büsser refuses to think of the watch as a flat object on the wrist. This machine is three-dimensional, sculptural: every element exists to reveal the movement inside, to tell how it works. It's not form pursued for form's sake. It's architecture that serves mechanics.

The next step

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