The Heritage
The strap for this watch is made to measure
On the MB&F M.A.D. Editions 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 fitted to the MB&F M.A.D. Editions M.A.D.1 RED?
No, the bracelet is integrated directly into the case. There are no standard lugs where you can attach a conventional strap. If you wish to change the original bracelet, the solution is to have one made to measure directly on the watch, respecting the case geometry.
How does the bespoke strap process work for this model?
I work by appointment only at <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, Via XX Settembre 15. I take measurements directly from your watch case, study the integrated lugs, and craft the strap by hand, modelling every detail. It's the only proper approach for architecture this particular.
Which leather do I recommend for the M.A.D.1?
Mississippi Alligator in fire-red tone. It has the resistance and grain that speaks to the boldness of this watch, without feeling fragile. If you prefer something more understated, patinated Barenia ages beautifully and keeps the sporty character of the steel case.
How long does a properly made strap last?
With daily wear and basic care, 5 to 7 years. Leather ages, patinas, changes tone—that's beauty, not decay. Just avoid prolonged moisture and treat it occasionally with neutral oil. A good strap tells the story of whoever wears it.
Why did Maximilian Büsser design the integrated bracelet on this watch?
It's a radical choice: the bracelet isn't an accessory, it's an extension of the case itself. It amplifies those impossible geometries that define the project. Whoever owns this watch accepts a challenge: finding someone who truly knows how to work with such architecture. We do.
