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 you fit a standard strap on the Duopod 016?
No, because the lug attachment is an integral part of the case design. A traditional straight-bar strap would never fit properly. The solution is to have a bespoke strap built at <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, tailored to your specific watch.
How does the bespoke strap construction work for the Duopod 016?
The craftsman measures the exact profile and depth of your watch's proprietary attachment using precision instruments. The strap is then handmade to fit perfectly without any play. It's a process requiring expertise and continuous dialogue between the atelier and your piece.
Which leather suits the character of the Duopod 016 best?
The Duopod's formal minimalism calls for fine-grained leathers: vegetable-tanned calf, cordovan, or subtle alligator. Heavy, bold leathers would break that airy proportion. At Casati Milano you'll evaluate which leather matches your taste and desired patina over time.
How long does a well-crafted artisanal strap last?
A quality leather strap, with basic care, lasts for years. The patina becomes part of the object's history. Casati Milano builds straps designed to be regenerated over time, not discarded after use.
Why is the Duopod 016 exceptional in contemporary watchmaking?
Marc Newson designed the Duopod as a single sculptural entity—case and bracelet unified—rejecting industrial modularity standards. The 016 preserves this DNA: every element is integrated for biomorphic harmony. It remains an unmatched design manifesto among avant-garde collectors.
