Vintage-inspired barrel-link design with fitted end pieces for the IWC Mark XX.
The Barrel bracelet is a new concept for Forstner. It's based on a similar vintage design; however, the original versions were typically made with elastic and lacked removable links or a clasp. Forstner's Barrel maintains the vintage look -- retaining the clean horizontal rolled-link pattern, with no visible connection between the links -- but upgrades all the details. It provides an excellent sporty-yet-elevated look while maintaining the comfort and quality you'd expect from Forstner.
Solid 316L stainless steel with a fully brushed finish throughout, including the fitted end pieces and clasp. The rounded barrel-shaped links give the bracelet a smooth, fluid feel while maintaining more visual structure than a beads of rice or mesh design. A push-button milled clasp gives the bracelet a more substantial feel than lightweight stamped vintage-style clasps.
