Milanese watch bracelet

Watch designers follow fashion as closely as they do other accessories. The most skillful and original techniques are used to create bracelets and straps. The Milanese bracelet for watches has earned great popularity, which resembles a canvas of chain mail and suits any style.

At the end of the 19th century, masters of Europe began to actively make mesh bracelets from gold threads. The weaving technique, which originated in Milan, attracted jewelers for its durability and luxurious appearance.

The Milanese mesh bracelet is made of a large, strong mesh that is flexible and allows the skin of the hand to breathe even in the hottest weather, such as is usually the case in Milan during the summer season.

The history of the original weaving began in 1922 in the German city of Pforzheim, which is known as the "golden city". Since ancient times, precious metal has been mined in it, and whole jewelry dynasties were born there. Vollmer and Staib were the first companies in Germany to manufacture mesh bracelets. The heirs of the Vollmer dynasty emphasized the particular complexity of the production of Milanese weaving, the creation process of which consisted of 85 stages.

The main condition for choosing a mesh is the absence of sharp edges, large details, stability and functionality. Small metal links are smooth and not unpleasant, this accessory looks on the hand not only as a practical addition to the mechanism, but also as a stylish accessory.

Mesh bracelets stand out in comparison with leather watch straps and some types of metal weave in several ways:

• The smooth surface of many moving links is stronger, stronger and more comfortable to hold on your hand than other straps.

• The bracelet is easy to polish, removing tarnish and restoring gloss and shine.
• Such models are resistant to moisture and are not afraid of getting wet.
• In the summer heat, the mesh bracelet is indispensable, since the material does not absorb moisture and allows the skin to breathe.
• Universal strap models will suit both classic style and modern complex movements.
• With the help of a slider fastener, there is no problem how to shorten the product and adjust it on the arm. The clasp is opened with a small screwdriver and snaps securely into place when the adjustment is complete.
