Tailored Straps for Haute Horology

Individually measured to tenth-millimeter precision. Our hand-stitched leather drapes the wrist to complete the silhouette of the world’s finest timepieces.

The Method

Sown with French Linen

Each strap is hand-stitched with French linen thread using a traditional two-needle saddle stitch. Our hand-burnished edges are sealed with natural beeswax, ensuring a lifetime of resilient wear.

We measure each timepiece and wrist individually. This millimetric precision ensures the leather integrates seamlessly with the lugs, preserving the watch's original architectural silhouette.
