Milanese weave watch bracelet. Milan watch with date The bracelet loses its appearance

Mesh Straps technology is a special type of production of chains, bracelets and other jewelry, consisting of many small links connected to each other using special anchors in a single plane. The appearance of the weaving resembles a thin mesh or chain mail made of metal. The technology first emerged in the 18th century in the city of Milan, which at that time was considered the heart of European jewelry art. In the middle of the 20th century, watch manufacturers adequately appreciated the advantages of Milanese weaving, and thus the first mesh bracelet appeared, which became a worthy alternative to standard leather straps.
The first straps were exclusively the prerogative of women, by analogy with jewelry, only later watches on the “Mesh” belt were presented with men’s models. Today, Milanese weave has become popular thanks to the emerging fashion trend of the 60s, as a result of which many TOP watch brands have released replicas of previously popular watch models.
Watches on a chainmail bracelet have a number of advantages over leather and standard metal versions. The braided design of the bracelet is very durable, which guarantees the durability of the accessory. The surface of the bracelet is smooth, which makes it possible to polish it if necessary, restoring its original shine. The bracelet is made of steel with anti-corrosion characteristics; as a result, it is not afraid of water, and you can swim freely in it. Metal does not absorb moisture, so it is pleasant to wear in summer.

What watchmakers can come up with to make their creations original. Unusual and marketable in our age of advanced technology and diversity, when it is really difficult to surprise a discerning buyer with anything. Therefore, watchmakers are increasingly returning to the past, relying on the classics.

Therefore, an elegant Milanese bracelet cannot be considered modern: this idea was first used back in the 18th century, in one of the main cities of the watch industry - Milan.

Milanese weaving of a watch bracelet is a very fine weaving of watch links, with an almost imperceptible gap. The basis of the idea was the small-link weaving of knightly chain mail: they tried to make the gap between the links so small that a stiletto - a narrow and long knife - would not slip into the gap. The beauty of the weaving of the links is the privilege of wealthy aristocrats: the armor had to be not only practical, but also beautiful, expensively made.

The peak use of Milanese weave watch bracelets occurred in the 60s of the 20th century. But now, another round of fashion - and elegant bracelets are back in fashion, and again decorate the wrists of their owners. By the way, despite their knightly origins, such bracelets are usually used for stylish women's watches.

Features of the Milanese weave watch bracelet:

  • The bracelet, like its metal counterparts, is very durable. When using protective coatings, it does not corrode for a long time and retains its ideal appearance.
  • Unlike large-link bracelets, thanks to the very fine weaving, the Milanese bracelet is even more flexible than leather and approaches the flexibility of fabric straps. Thanks to this property, it fits the wrist very tightly and beautifully, but requires precise adjustment to the length of the bracelet so as not to move or dangle.
  • This is an ideal intermediate option, suitable for both street wear and a business suit, and an evening dress. Depending on the design of the case, minimalistic, or, on the contrary, bright, unusual, decorated with crystals
    Swarovski, watches with the same bracelet can look completely different.
  • This is a wonderful gift for a woman of any status: a beloved woman, mother, sister, boss.

It doesn't look like the picture


The first thing to consider is that in real life the Milanese bracelet is very different from the images of it that can be found on the Apple website. The differences lie in the way the bracelet links are woven: look at the pictures.

It does not change color or deform


This is perhaps the most impact resistant strap available. Rubber straps change color, or get dirty, to put it simply. Leather straps can become warped, and the assembled steel strap is easily scuffed and scratched. All this does not happen with the Milanese bracelet.

Doesn't protect hair


From time to time, the Milanese bracelet gets tangled in your hair, which can cause discomfort while wearing or removing the watch.

Loosens when worn


This is a problem with Milanese bracelets, which can be found not only in the case of the Apple Watch. The magnetic clasp makes it easy to take the watch on and off, but doesn't help keep it securely in place. During the day you have to tighten the strap several times to prevent the watch from sitting too loosely.

Not very convenient


This applies to all steel straps. They are not suitable for all life situations, and for sports, for example, it is better to change the strap to a rubber one.

Breathing


But unlike a rubber strap, a Milanese bracelet allows your skin to breathe, which will likely make your hand sweat less where you're wearing the watch.

Size


The magnetic clasp allows you to put the Milanese bracelet on any hand size. The size of the bracelet is also quite convenient to adjust throughout the day. Watches with other clasps will be less convenient in this regard.

Here, in fact, are all the pros and cons that a colleague from 9to5Mac was able to note. In conclusion, he said that he was happy with his choice and believed that the Milanese bracelet was worth the money. However, for sports, he still advises purchasing a rubber strap and putting it on before training. It's also worth noting that if you choose and want to wear them with a Milanese bracelet, this combination will not be to everyone's taste.


Based on materials from 9to5Mac

And reviews about the new product. But today we’ll talk about a specific model: the Apple Watch with the Milanese Mesh band, which has caused a lot of discussion and discussion regarding its convenience.

Before writing about my impressions, I used a watch a week, taking them off only at night. Reviews on the Internet vary greatly, they are written by both real buyers and people who have only twirled them in their hands a few times or have not even touched them with the edge of a finger.

Thanks to the store Cplaza.ru for providing the Apple Watch for review.

Unisex

Don't listen people who call them womanish. If we consider the model 42 mm with a Milanese bracelet, they look great on a man's hand. 38 mm– yes, the watch itself is too small, and the strap is narrower. This option is more suitable for girls than for men.

The bracelet does not pull hair from your hand.

But he pulls them out of his head. For example, if you get lost in thought and reach out to scratch the back of your head, you risk putting a hair or two on your Apple Watch.

As for my arms, even on my hairy arm, I did not experience any pain associated with hair pulling. Never.

The watch is held securely.

The Milanese mesh bracelet is not equipped with classic clasps and clips that clearly secure the watch on the hand. It uses a magnetic clasp that presses against the bracelet itself.

The magnet is much stronger than I expected before I first wore the watch. For clarity, a small experiment: I hung a bag with a full 1.5 liter bottle of liquid from the clock.

The bracelet held them tightly.

Of course, if you pull harder, the magnet will not hold its original position. But no one will be able to snatch the Apple Watch from your hands; the clasp will rest against the watch.

As the day progresses, the bracelet becomes loose and the watch begins to dangle on your wrist, so you have to tighten it from time to time.

The bracelet loses its appearance.

The magnetic clasp wears out quickly. Very fast. Perhaps, over time, Apple will reconsider the production technology of the part, but for now this is a serious minus.

It's better to treat it with care.

The bracelet is twisted.

When you take off your watch or want to charge it, the magnetic clasp attracts and collects the entire bracelet into one pile. This is starting to get annoying. He has to unwind before putting on your watch. This procedure does not bring any pleasure; the high force of attraction of the magnet adds fuel to the fire.

The bracelet scratches the watch.

This is rather a consequence of what I wrote about above. The bracelet consists of thousands of small metal parts, friction with which will inevitably leave scratches on the polished steel case.

The clock can be restored.

The disadvantages listed above using improvised means. All you need is polish and a towel. The steel surface will regain its original appearance, become virgin and smooth.

But this is a separate hemorrhoid, and I don’t want to deal with it. The average buyer would rather turn a blind eye to the scratches that appear than to bother with removing them every time.

By the way, the aluminum Apple Watch Sport is almost scratch-resistant.

Result:

Apple Watch with Milanese mesh bracelet captivates with its beauty. Perhaps not everyone, but I was won over. That is why I am considering the possibility of purchasing them, turning a blind eye to obvious shortcomings.

Let's refresh our memory:

Pros:

  • Beautiful design
  • Convenient magnetic clasp
  • resistant to moisture (compared to leather straps)
  • Minuses:

  • The surface of the clasp is easily scratched
  • bracelet twists to magnet
  • the bracelet can scratch the watch
