Lug

IT: ansa - attacco

Definition

The lug is a fundamental element for every watch collector, as it represents the connection point between the case and the strap. Historically, lugs have been made from various materials, from metal to stainless steel, influencing not only the aesthetics but also the functionality of the watch. Choosing the right lug can determine compatibility with different types of straps, making the watch more versatile. For those who love to personalise, the lug is the starting point for exploring new combinations of style and comfort.

Frequently asked questions

What is a lug?

The lug is a fundamental element for every watch collector, as it represents the connection point between the case and the strap. Also known as attachment, junction, connector.

Why choose a lug for a Milano Straps strap?

Because I only select traced and hand-finished leathers: they feel soft on the skin, resist sweat and develop an elegant patina with use.

How do I match the lug to my watch?

I match it to vintage and contemporary cases by choosing the right thickness and a hypoallergenic lining to respect the character of the timepiece.

The next step

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