The New Damasko manufactory folding clasp
The engineers at Damasko have years of experience in the field of case and bracelet design, manufacturing technology and materials science.
This experience has now been used to develop a new folding clasp with a focus on maximum comfort, both when wearing and when actually operating the fine adjustment.
With an adjustment range of 20mm, the mechanism can be adjusted in 2.5mm increments by pressing the particularly pressure-friendly push buttons on both sides. This is even possible without taking off or opening the bracelet.
To maximize the wearing experience, the clasp has a geometry that follows the natural curve of the arm.
The folding clasp is locked using a safety pull mechanism. This even provides acoustic feedback when closing.
The new clasp is manufactured from the “solid” on 5-axis milling machines. It is made from high-strength, anti-magnetic austenitic stainless steel.
This so-called U-boat steel is also used for the outer hull of German submarines. In addition, as is usual for all Damasko products, each stainless steel component is additionally surface-hardened to maximum depth. All screw components are made from the tried and tested titanium grade 5 material already used in Damasko bracelets.
All components are manufactured in our highly specialized production facility and can justifiably call themselves a piece of “German engineering”.
The clasp for our 22mm steel bracelet is available for the launch.
It is also available with a 22mm wide rubber strap in various lengths.
