Milano Straps Glossary

Fitted

In my experience as an artisan, the term 'fitted' refers to a strap perfectly adapted to the watch lugs, without any gaps or play between the parts. I use this technique to create a harmonious union between the watch case and the strap, where every millimeter is calculated to achieve an impeccable fit that enhances the watch's aesthetic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the 'Fitted' technique important?
In my experience as an artisan, the term 'fitted' refers to a strap perfectly adapted to the watch lugs, without any gaps or play between the parts. It is part of the Milano Straps method to achieve finishes consistent with the collector-grade level of our straps.
How do I apply 'Fitted' in the workshop?
I use it at precise stages of the production cycle, combining it with manual checks and vintage tools to preserve the naturalness of the leather.
Does 'Fitted' require special maintenance?
Simply follow the instructions included with each strap: gentle cleaning, no direct heat, and rotation between multiple straps to allow the material to rest.
