I have used Holben's for numerous purchases including the Artem Deployant Clasp for a recently purchased Oris Jump Hour. The Artem clasp is comfortable under the wrist and works flawlessly. I have not had any difficulty assembling any strap. I do recommend having a high quality small (1.2, 1.8) flat head screw driver. Always fast service from Holben's.
The 20 mm Artem classic strap fit perfectly on the suggested Artem deployment clasp size. Simply to install with the screw-in rod that passes through the buckle side of the strap. You will need two small screw drivers to tighten down that threaded rod.. This a bombproof clasp. Watch out. The pinch hazard on the buckle side is real! The fix is easy: Do not fold the clasp on the buckle side using your wrist as the backstop. Instead use your right middle or ring finger. The brushed clasp is nicely finished. This is an upscale product! Worth the money!
I thought that this was a "real clasp" and not pop up one. Oh well....I guess it is all good.
Thanks for the review. This clasp uses a spring-loaded folding (push-button) mechanism rather than a traditional friction or screw-lock style, which can be different if you were expecting a more rigid “tool-style” deployant.
Great quality ! Perfect craftsmanship , fit not even attempt straps but many others
This clasp overall is nicely finished and well made. The strength of the tension may be hard for some to control and get the strap into the fixed loop. the issue I found was that for 2 different straps it was hard to get the buckle side on. The piece of metal with a hole in it that sticks up is wider than the slots cut in the leather strap so it creates bunching. For me at this price point, I wouldn't but this again because of that.
Thanks for the detailed review. The folding mechanism has a firm spring tension, which can make the clasp feel stiff at first when closing. The section that feeds through the strap’s buckle slot can be a tighter fit on some straps, depending on how that slot is cut and the strap thickness. This is helpful context for others pairing the clasp with different straps.
The quality is very good, trying to fit another strap other than a Artem strap takes a bit of moding to get it to work, and the price is just too high.
I finally found a nicely designed deployment clasp that isn't too bulky and is super comfortable. Both sides are spring loaded and feel very durable and secure and I just love these clasps. Also purchased three of the polished, non-DLC coated ones. Always find what I want at Holben's... only place I have purchased straps from.

I was looking for a RM style deploymnent clasp for my RM 67-02. Ordering was easy. Shipment came on time. The product seems to be high quality. Installing the clasp onto the strap was not difficult. So far so good.
Purchased the Artem RM style deployment clasp. Very solid and well made. Installed on my Montblanc Timewalker with a Hirsch strap. Tried first using a Hirsch deployment buckle, but unhappy with the curvature of the clasp which was pushing into my wrist. Took a chance with an at Artem clasp after doing extensive research and reading reviews online. Happy with my purchase. Will be buying another in Black.
I use butterfly clasps on almost all my bands. I've always wanted to try one of these so I picked one up now that Mike carries them. It is a beautiful clasp and adds even more class to the Artem straps. The screw attachments are a little more work but as long as you don't plan to switch out the clasp, you should only have to do it once.
