Milano Straps Glossary

Polished

A mirrored finish obtained through successive sanding and polishing operations that give metal surfaces a bright and reflective appearance. In my experience, I always distinguish between industrial polishing and manual polishing: the latter, which I apply to my watch straps with steel buckles, requires hours of patient work but provides that depth of reflection that only the artisan's hand can create. It is a finish that enhances the beauty of the metal but requires greater care in daily maintenance. Do you want to feel its texture on your wrist? Discover Milano Straps in Polished
