Located in Germany's Bavarian Forest, Fluco manufactures 100% in-house at its headquarters in the town of Furth im Wald. Owner Ulrich Fleischmann represents the third generation of his family to lead the company that his grandfather founded more than 70 years ago, producing handmade watch straps of the highest quality for men and women.
Fluco carefully vets every partner they collaborate with. Fluco's buckles are made entirely in Germany, at a traditional company in Baden Württemberg that tasks itself with producing premium clasps for watch straps.
Fluco's popular flip-lock clasps are perfect for dive and sport watches and any other setups where you need a stronger, safer buckle connection than a standard pin buckle can provide. These heavy gauge polished or gold-plated stainless steel foldover-style clasps have a pressure-click design, are easily adjustable, and fit straps up to 4mm thick.
simple, unobtrusive, solidly build, and they stay shut. IMO, better than the push button butterfly, which sometimes opens when my wrist hits the button inadvertantly. But not the fluco single deployant.
I have a bunch of these, along with similar ones from HR,, Debeer, and some generic ones, Fluco are the best overall. the only caveat being, on really thin straps, HR are better. But on thicker straps, Fluco are the way to go.
You can see in the pics, the same Fluco on a Barton sailcloth, and on a Rios pilot strap. Works equally well on both.
There might be a better deployant out there, but not for $20.
Fluco makes some of the best clasps available. I've been impressed with their butterfly clasp and want to try this fold over. Great materials and finishing.
If you like deployant clasps, this is a nice upgrade from a quick release. Shown on the Hirsch Pure Rubber strap. And thanks for the advice and quick shipping!
Spent a long time looking for a quality single fold deployant clasp. This Fluco fit the bill perfectly! Size and fit is great, very slim, and even without a trigger, the deployment is very secure. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a deployant for a dress watch on a fine strap. Fast and reliable service from Holbens!
This clasp makes the watch strap look classier. High quality and not flimsy at all. Expect this to last a very long time. Easy to install on the strap and goes on without any issues. Will purchase more of this later on put on my other watches.
Changed out the tang buckle on my new strap because the strap with the tang buckle was either too loose or too tight on my wrist. The deployment solved that issue and now the strap fits as it should. Also, the clasp is secure and looks nice.
This is a quality product. The finish is well polished and the action feels solid and sturdy.
I recently bought this clasp in both the 16mm and 18mm options as they were for two different straps. The 16mm option is great and sturdy and everything works as expected. The 18mm one is slightly 'off' and that is reflected in this review rating. the clasp part is sturdy and closes nicely, so no issues there. However, the little part that covers the strap hole is a little flimsy and loose. It is almost coming undone on it's own and does so with very minimal effort. Comparing this to the 16mm one it almost feels like it's produced by two different companies. If I was reviewing just the 16mm clasp it would be 4 stars as its at advertised but still slightly uncomfortable for my wrist. However, the 18mm does not feel the same. For the cost the clasps are nicely finished, and the clasp part is solid and well executed. Factoring in this flimsy part and the comfort not being close to OEM clasps the rating comes down. Still would recommend for a decent and more cost effective OEM alternative!
I got the clasp installed, but it was unable to fasten properly on my worst. Worked fine off my wrist. Went back the original buckle it came with.
