A LITTLE GUIDANCE

Make the right choice.

How do I choose the right size?
LUG WIDTHLONG SIDEBUCKLE SIDELENGTH
  1. Between the lugs.

    Measure the inside distance between the two attachment points on your watch, in millimetres. This is your lug width.

  2. Two halves, one fit.

    Measure both halves of a strap you already wear comfortably, excluding the buckle. Compare those measurements with the selected size.

  3. Check the buckle.

    The strap can taper from the lug to a narrower buckle. Check the buckle width if you plan to reuse existing hardware.

The complete sizing guide

For Apple Watch, choose your case size and adapter colour. For Samsung, choose your watch model so we can match its attachment.

How should I care for this leather?

Keep cowhide away from prolonged moisture, direct heat and abrasive surfaces. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and allow it to rest after wear. Ask about suitable care for your chosen finish before using a conditioner.

THE LEATHER / SMOOTH COWHIDE · COGNAC

Your watch. A new chapter.

There is a quiet pleasure in making a familiar watch feel personal again. The colour you choose, the line of the stitching and the way a strap fits your wrist all become part of that feeling.

This design begins with genuine cowhide and hand stitching. We will confirm the proportions and making details with you before production, so the next chapter starts with a considered fit.

Small details. Lasting connections.
