Brushed - satin - Milan Straps

Milano Straps Glossary

Brushed

In my experience as an artisan, a brushed finish is a metalworking technique that creates fine, parallel lines on the surface, achieved through the use of abrasive brushes or fine sandpaper. I also apply this technique to the metal elements of my watch straps, such as buckles and loops, to obtain a satin, matte look that reduces reflections. It's a highly appreciated finish because it lends understated elegance and better conceals small scratches from everyday use. Want to feel its texture on your wrist?
