The Swiss full-bugg technique it's the love of detail that makes all the difference
You can recognise a RIOS1931 watch strap by a quality feature that has become, something of a rarity in our fast-moving times of mass production: the traditional full-bugg or full-turned technique. Nothing less than this especially exacting handicraft technique can meet our quality standards and guarantee such unparalleled lasting value.
We distinguish between three RIOS1931-manufacturing techniques:
1. The normal full-bugg strap	2. The full bugg strap with sheath	3. The full-bugg strap "ART MANUEL"

bugg mantle fleece padding leather lining

sheath_ bugg mantle fleece padding edge dye leather lining

The upper leather (bugg mantle) is turned around the fleece padding and tucked under the leather lining, glued and thus double stitched.

On this full-bugg strap,  the edges are additionally smoothed and polished  with heat and wax.

With this high-end technique for our most exclusive articles, the edges are smoothed with heat, sanded down and then painted 5 times with edge dye. Loops and buckle flap are stitched by hand.
