The Forstner Klip Ladder-Style Watch Bracelet

The Story Forstner, in the 1940s, created a series of Bamboo- or Bonklip-style watch bracelets. These stainless steel watch bands, with their ladder design, had many of the same features that popularized the Komfit with NASA astronauts. They were adjustable, having the ability to be sized in increments of about 3mm, fit a wide variety of wrist sizes, and, of course, were extremely comfortable. The bracelets also could be worn with watches having fixed (non-removable) lug bars.

Ladder bracelets have a unique, sport style, most often associated with vintage chronographs. A three link-design, they get their name from the gaps between center links. In addition to adding an aggressive edge to any watch, they are exceptionally comfortable thanks to increased airflow, and less skin contact. The Forstner Ladder takes this iconic style and modernizes it for comfort and convenience.
