Our leather watch strap collection brings together the hide types used by well-established workshops that rely on traditional methods. The range includes calfskin with its familiar even grain, goatskin with a finer texture and Horween shell cordovan with a dense, smooth surface that begins firm before easing through wear. Treatments such as Saffiano crosshatching, suede finishes and vegetable tanning add variations in surface feel, rigidity and break-in behavior. The collection also covers genuine exotics like alligator, crocodile, buffalo, lizard and ostrich, each defined by distinctive patterning and more pronounced tactile character. Pigskin and sheepskin appear in lighter builds where thinner fibers shape more quickly.
Hide type and finishing method influence how a leather watch strap is formed, how its profile settles over time and which watches it pairs with. Explore the different approaches favored by brands like ColaReb, Fluco and Hirsch.
