Artem BP FF-Style Deployant Clasp

My package arrived promptly and well packaged. The clasp itself seemed well made but after installing it onto my watch, it quickly failed. The band released from the clasp and upon closer inspection the head of the screw which retains the strap sheared off. It was probably just an isolated instance or perhaps i over tightened it with my micro screwdriver, but total wrist time was about 5 minutes. It was a nice looking buckle and seemed to be quality, but its failure suggested i might find a different clasp for an expensive watch. Holbens has not even been notified of it’s failure and im sure if they were, they would remedy the situation. I just doubt i would feel comfortable relying on it to keep my watch on my wrist at this point.

After trying a Fluco deployant clasp on a 3mm thick leather strap I had issues with the the Fluco clasp opening up on its own accord. Not only did this Artem clasp solve that issue it also added a couple locking points that put my mind at ease. Thank you Artem and thank you Mike at Holben for answering my questions.
