Strap Value
Handmade straps give your watches a luxurious bespoke touch
UNLESS MONEY IS no object, good luck finding a watchmaker willing to make you a customised timepiece to present to your loved one for Christmas.
However, a handmade watch strap is another story. It's beautiful, lovingly made by a growing number of local artisans, and luxurious enough to complement any expensive timepiece.
These artisans often have access to the same high quality materials from the same sources which cater to famous French and Italian designer labels. In fact, these craftsmen say that high grade crocodile and alligator leather straps for high-end timepieces are the most sought after by clients.
