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 gold-plated stainless steel foldover-style clasps have a pressure-click design, are easily adjustable, and fit straps up to 4mm thick.
First time trying a single-fold deployant (I have a butterfly-fold on my other Hirsch strap), and this one feels comfortable. I do not notice a huge difference in terms of security over the butterfly clasp (that uses buttons to open the clasp), but I love the gentle curve of this single-fold and how I don't need to pull on the strap to open it up.

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.
