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 Pigskin strap is handmade in Germany using fine pigskin with a soft, smooth finish. This strap is untapered, meaning that it is the same width at the buckle and lug ends. The Pigskin is accentuated with fine all-round tone-on-tone stitching, and the last stitch at each end is double-sewn. At just 2mm thick throughout, it has a slim, minimal profile for an elegant look. The lining leather is hypoallergenic.

I searched a long time to find a classic pig skin that resembles the ones from the 1940s. Fluco has the best pig skin in the market and the untappered 16 mm band makes it a true classic. Excellent customer service from Holbens as always, my number one stop for watch bands.
This is my second or third purchase from Holben’s and I’m very happy. This pigskin band is so supple and comfortable and the brown color is really nice. It looks great on my 1948 Bulova. It adds a classic look like the watch came that way. I’ve tried other bands and they just don’t compare.
Great leather strap. Replaced the original strap on my new Seiko Presage Cocktail watch. Wow, the strap is nice looking and felt wonderful. It's like I had the strap for years with the soft comfortable feel. Happy with this strap and the excellent service from Holben's.
