SKU: RETBLET18SS

These "Bonklip" 1930s/1960s ladder-style watch bracelets, designed to fit watches with 18mm lugs, are expertly crafted from high-quality stainless steel. With their premium vintage aesthetic, these bracelets are both exceptionally comfortable and highly adjustable.

Bonklip Bracelet Overview

The Bonklip bracelet is a distinctive watch strap known for its flexibility, durability, and unique construction. Originating in the 1930s and popularized during and after World War II, it complements military-style and vintage watches from the 1930s to the 1960s. Its practicality and timeless design make it a favorite among watch enthusiasts.

Key Features

  • Material: Typically stainless steel, lightweight yet robust, with minor variations in design.
  • Construction: Interlocking metal links with a ladder-like appearance ensure excellent flexibility and comfort.
  • Adjustability: The clasp allows for micro-adjustments to fit various wrist sizes without tools.
  • Clasp Design: A secure and easy-to-use mechanism, ideal for quick adjustments, especially in military settings.
  • Style: Retro, minimalist, and perfectly suited for vintage or military-pattern watches.

Historical Context

Patented in the 1930s by British inventor F. B. Bonklip, this bracelet gained prominence during World War II for its practicality and resilience. It was often issued with military watches and used in both field and aviation roles.

Modern Appeal

Today, the Bonklip bracelet is valued for its vintage aesthetic and functionality. Unlike leather, nylon, or canvas straps that take time to dry after water exposure, the stainless steel Bonklip offers durability and practicality, making it ideal for active or outdoor use. It pairs beautifully with classic military-style or reissued watches.

The final 3 images show 2 UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) documents and a original Jaeger LeCoultre military issue watch on a Bonklip bracelet.

Very soft and the matching backing is nice
The blanket is great quality with no smells. It’s thick and cozy. We like the matching backing. Unfortunately, I should have measured because this barely covers a queen bed despite the heading product description “queen size”. I still haven’t heard back whether they use harsh chemicals when processing. Overall, it feels great to support companies that use natural products with (hopefully) low to no harmful chemicals.

Works for Sherpa, and heavy rugs
This worked on my 2 Sherpa jackets and a heavy furred rug. I tested it on my old Sherpa jacket that had the furs pretty much flat after years. I used this on it which took about 3 hrs to do and it feels brand new. I was so shocked that I used it on my old rug that had about an inch length in fur. The fur was all tangled so it had little stalks sticking out. After about 6-7 hrs, the rug was straight up rejuvenated felt brand new. I’m was very pleased with this product. Now, the real question is it worth it? I’ll just tell my opinion from my experience and let you decide for yourself. The product itself feels sturdy with a wooden base. It’s around 6 and a half inches so not very big. (This is one of the reasons why the rug too so long.)The metal brushed was surprisingly durable. I was applying a good amount of force when combing my rug and there were no bending. For 14 dollars and some elbow grease, I got two new jackets and a rug. The brush didn’t break so I can just keep using this to maintain. In my books, I got my moneys worth.

Great for shoes
This brush works well for fluffing up the inside of those sheepskin clog shoes we all own.

It Works!
A small size but fits my hand and really does the job well. I have two sherpa blankets that the fibers are matted down from the dryer (should have air dryed) and this brush glides through the fibers, does require some effort but well worth it as I get instant results of the before and after. So far, brush is intact and handling the job, one larger and one smaller blanket to go and both sides. Very happy with purchase!
