Milano Straps Glossary

Fitted

In my experience as an artisan, 'fitted' describes a strap perfectly adapted to the watch lugs, with no visible gaps or play. I create custom fitted straps for specific models, ensuring that the curvature and dimensions harmoniously match the watch case. This technique requires millimeter precision and in-depth knowledge of luxury watchmaking. Learn more about the technique on the Milano Straps Magazine → https://milanostraps.it/blogs/orologeria
