Headquartered in Austria, this family-operated business, which now produces premium leather watch bands for men and women, was established in 1765 as a leather workshop and tannery. Hirsch's Rembordé construction technique (enabling the seamless connection of upper and lining leather), patented in 1955, remains the industry standard, and the company's Performance collection of classic leather and vegan materials combined with premium caoutchouc is a multiple award winner. Now Hirsch makes it even easier to change straps, with handy quick-release spring bars!
