Spec
316L is the steel of surgical instruments and watch cases. It carries two to three percent molybdenum, the element that resists salt, and sweat is salt water. Titanium nitride is the coating on cutting tools and watch cases: about 2,000 on the Vickers scale, ten times the steel under it. It is the layer that takes the wear. The gold on top carries the color.

How it is made
Three factories.About sixty days.
We make one Cuban link, as a chain and a bracelet, in two widths. Each production run takes about sixty days.
The chain, the clasp and the plating are each made at a different factory, so none of them decides what is good enough.
Most of the production time goes into the curvature and the construction of the links. That is slow work in 316L steel, which is harder to shape than gold.
Ground flat under coolant, then coiled off the wheel. Steel, before the gold goes on.
Finding the right plating factory took the longest. A materials scientist works on the coating with us: half a micron of titanium nitride goes on in a vacuum chamber, then the gold. It is the same coating that gives a drill bit its gold color, put there for wear.
This is what the sixty days are for.
The links close up, hanging under their own weight.
The clasp
A thicker latch.More tension in the spring.
A clasp has one job: stay shut while you wear it. We tightened the fit inside ours to help it stay that way.
What gets measured
A tenth of a millimetre.Written down, on the day.
Four checks on every run, signed off by Josef, the co-founder. One dated example of each, from the record.
The samples, before a run is signed off
7.90 · 7.91 · 7.82 mmThe line for an 8mm is 7.90 to 8.10 mm. Three samples, June 2026: two inside it, one not.
The finished chain, on the calipers

The clasp spring, on the gauge

The first ten of a new run, one at a time

Questions
Have other men bought from you?
Yes. 48,323 customers since we started in London in 2020, rated 4.67 out of 5 across 3,390 reviews. Eight in ten new customers last month found us the way you did, through an ad on Facebook or Instagram. The men in the videos above are owners who filmed themselves.
Is it solid gold?
No. It is 14K gold over stainless steel, which is the reason two pieces cost $149 and not the thousands a solid gold chain this size costs.
Will it change color?
Kane M. has worn his since August 2025 and Scott S. since April 2026, and both are in the videos above. Your guarantee has no deadline, so there is no return window to beat.
Is there a warranty?
It is a refund, not a repair. Tell us at any point that it is not for you and we refund every dollar. You keep the pieces and send nothing back. Since 2021 we have refunded 1,240 of 55,016 orders.
Which length should I pick?
22 inches is the length ordered most. If you are between two, take the longer one: of 225 length exchanges, 173 were for a longer chain. Find your length, in the size step, shows where each one sits. Any length can be changed: we send the right size and you keep the first.
Can both pieces be the same?
Yes. About one in four pairs in our last run was two of the same chain, and each piece takes its own length.
Will the clasp hold?
We made the latch thicker and put more tension in the spring, and every batch of springs goes on a gauge before it is used. In August 2026 one batch read below our standard, so we stopped production until it was right.
When does it arrive?
It ships the same or next business day. In the US, standard delivery then takes 6 to 9 business days at no charge, or 3 to 6 with Priority from $10. Sales tax is added at checkout in the states that charge it.

“Haven't taken it off since I got it. Work, gym and shower has not turned colors or damaged my skin. I love it and might possibly get another”
“The 8mm chain was a better fit for me than the 12mm. I liked the weight and quality of the chain. The clasp was well made and easy to connect.”
