Vintage-inspired elegance designed for the IWC Mark XX.
The Forstner 11-Row Beads of Rice brings one of the most celebrated vintage bracelet designs to the IWC Mark XX. Inspired in part by the bracelet fitted to the vintage IWC Mark XII, it combines the familiar comfort and elegance of the classic beads of rice design with modern engineering.
The bracelet features fitted solid end links, eleven rows of polished center beads, and a hidden clasp that creates an uninterrupted look across the wrist. Instead of a traditional butterfly clasp, Forstner uses a milled folding clasp for improved comfort and a more secure feel. Half links behind the clasp make fine sizing easy, helping achieve a more precise fit.
Crafted from solid 316L stainless steel with alternating brushed and polished finishes. The 11-row design is highly articulated, giving the bracelet exceptional flexibility while maintaining a refined appearance. Matching end links blend seamlessly into the case for an integrated look.
Designed specifically for the IWC Mark XX with solid fitted end links. (Not compatible with the IWC EasX-CHANGE system.) The center links portion is 19mm wide. Links are removed using a single-screw system, while the included half links allow more precise sizing than full links alone. The hidden milled folding clasp maintains a continuous bracelet appearance while providing secure closure.
Swim ready, suitable for swimming and regular water exposure.
Clean with warm water and mild soap using a soft cloth or brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasives and polishing compounds.
Forstner produces stainless steel watch bracelets based on mid-century designs originally developed for tool watches and documented in early aerospace use. These archived patterns form the foundation of the modern lineup, which the brand reproduces using updated machining while preserving the proportions and details that defined the originals.
