Headquartered in Klagenfurt, Austria, Hirsch was established in 1765 as a leather workshop and tannery. It remains a family-owned business to this day, and continues to gain recognition for excellence and innovation in watch strap design.
Made from elegant gloss calfskin leather with realistic crocodile-grain embossing, the Crocograin is an enduring classic. Hirsch's Softglove lining leather is hypoallergenic and gentle on the skin.
All of our Hirsch straps are integrated with handy quick-release spring bars. Prefer standard spring bars? Quick-release bars are easy to remove: simply slide the lever as far as you can to the left, then gently bend back the strap corner until the bar emerges from the slot.

About the brand
Hirsch is a family-owned Austrian watch strap manufacturer headquartered in Klagenfurt, with roots in leatherworking dating back to the 18th century. The company is widely recognized for combining traditional craftsmanship with technical innovation.
The black leather band received is perfect. Good flexibility and high quality. Exactly as described. After looking at many online websites, this one provided the most helpful information to get the length I needed. Liked that they gave me buckle finish options (in my case gold with black band). Delivery was faster than estimated by the seller. Biggest problem was getting the old leather band off. However, putting the new band on was easy due to the quick release spring bar pins. I had worried that the spring pin knobs might stick out enough to be uncomfortable on the skin, but I don't feel a thing. Overall fantastic!
First time ordering from Holben fine watch bands, and I was quite happy with the purchase. Initially the band was a bit stiff, but over the course of one week it softened up nicely. It appears to be high quality and looks very nice with my Movado watch. Would not hesitate to order from them in the future.
This purchase did not work out, though Ive been pleased with past purchases. I have a very thin wrist and need a short band. When this one arrived, it was really no shorter than a standard watchband. Additionally, the “quick release pin” was a huge source of frustration, and we ended up removing it altogether and replacing it with a standard pin. At the end of the day, with some jerryrigging we made the watchband work, but it was not at all what we had hoped for. On a positive note, shipping and communication were spot on. :-)
