The Heritage
The strap for this watch is made to measure
On the Ikepod Duopod the bracelet is drawn as part of the case: no catalogue strap will fit. In the atelier we take the measurements on the watch itself and build the strap on the piece — that is the work of Casati Milano.

Can a standard strap be mounted on the Ikepod Duopod 015?
No, the Duopod's attachment is integrated into the case according to Marc Newson's original design and does not follow conventional straight bars. What is possible is to create a completely bespoke strap, built specifically for the watch by <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>. This is the method that preserves the aesthetic integrity of the design.
How does the bespoke strap manufacturing process work for the Duopod 015?
The craftsmen at <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a> take measurements directly from the watch during the appointment, measuring the attachment points and evaluating the case geometry. The strap is then built bespoke, with the leather and closure system of your choice. It is not an adaptation job, but personalised design.
Which type of leather best suits the character of the Ikepod Duopod 015?
Leathers with natural texture and moderate grain respond best to the formal cleanliness of the design: Italian vegetable-tanned leather, cordovan, or carefully selected exotic leathers with fine grain. The rule is that the leather must enhance the shape of the case, not compete with it. The choice should be discussed with the craftsmen at Casati Milano.
How long does a quality strap last on a watch like the Duopod 015?
A strap built with artisanal techniques and top-grade leathers lasts many years, often 8-12 years or more, depending on use and maintenance. Vegetable tanned leather tends to age naturally, developing patina; it is possible to restore or replace worn elements (buckle, bars) without dismantling the strap. Casati Milano also offers maintenance services.
Why is the Duopod 015 considered revolutionary in watchmaking?
Designed in 1994 by Marc Newson, the Duopod breaks with Swiss tradition through an organic, biomorphic form. The elliptical case, integrated bracelet, and fluid geometry respond to a unified logic of modern industrial design. Reference 015 represents this visionary legacy: it is a watch that places pure design above all convention.
