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. They work only with tanneries that produce ecologically and ethically responsible leather, complying with the strictest regulations to ensure environmental safety and exercising verifiable control from the origin of the raw material to the end product. 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 Paris strap is handmade in Germany using smooth, buttery NOVONAPPA calfskin leather from the Haas Tanneries in France. Haas has been based in Alsace since 1842, and is now in its sixth generation of family ownership. A Haas trademark is its famous NOVONAPPA leather, produced through a double-tanning process using chrome salts and vegetable tannins. Oils are then added in a hot-air drum, giving this fine leather a soft feel and mellow appearance.
For decades, many luxury goods manufacturers have used NOVONAPPA leather for equestrian accessories and handbags. It is famous for its patina, which develops over time and only improves with use, and the Paris strap is no exception. This strap is durable, water resistant and oil absorbent. The white contrasting bar tack stitches at buckle are double sewn, as are the last stitches on the seams. The French leather lining is water repellent and hypoallergenic.

I paired this strap with a Seiko Presage “Laurel Style”. The original was crocodile textured, but I think the smooth black leather with subtle detail of this Fluco band is a much better match for the clean Japanese style of this watch. The quality of the leather is noticeable. Thanks!
Excellent value strap for the money. Only downside is that i do wish there were more holes to fit smaller wrists. I was able to go down to the smallest hole for my 6" wrist but it's a bit loose.
Needed a new strap for a new-to-me Tank and this was just what I was looking for! Really quality materials and just lovely on the watch. 👍
