ARISTO Vollmer, the bracelet manu-facturer of Pforzheim/Germany, provides material for prominent watch brands. The senior chief, graduate engineer Hans Vollmer, is especially enthusiastic about the fact that filigree woven mesh bands are currently experiencing a renaissance as premier equippers of luxury watches.
Hansjörg Vollmer, his son and president of the sport-watch maker ARISTO Watch, has now inspired him to a new type of bracelet construction. The clasp should be easy to use and only small links should be used so that the strap can easily cling to the wrist. The mold should be unobtrusive, timeless and functional. It should live up to the Bauhaus design philosophy that "form follows function".
When Hans Vollmer presented his watchband design study in January of 2004, the testers unanimously agreed that this strap deserves to carry the appellation ARISTO Vollmer Short Easy System. The bracelet links cannot be felt on the wrist and are precisely the right length for optimal carrying comfort. The result is a stainless steel watch band which feels like "one piece".
After attempts on the basis of several proto-types, ARISTO Vollmer manufacturing facilities now provide three models with its unique Short Easy System:
• a Milanese style
mesh

• a filigree double-
clasped bracelet (centre)
• a
steel bracelet
made uniformly of single links (right)
