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.
The Hirsch Kansas is a beautifully subtle watch strap constructed from naturally tanned, full grain buffalo-grain calfskin leather, available in a variety of colors and lengths. Hirsch's proprietary 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.

Love the color! Nicely compliments the gold hands & numbers, cream dial, and stainless steel case of my 1953 Universal Geneve.
As always, the Fluco delployant clasp is a great option.
FYI, when sized to my 7.25” wrist, the clasp post ended up in the 4th of the strap’s 8 holes.
This is a quality band. Fits perfectly, looks great. Very pleases with my selection. Will definitely be back.
The Hirsch Kansas Brown Leather band is exactly what I wanted. It's to replace the original band on my Kuoe Old Smith 90-001, which was underwhelming. As I'm a woman with a narrow wrist, but the watch lug size is 18mm, I got the Hirsch short to compensate and it's fitting perfectly. The dark brown is a little darker than I'd hoped from the picture, which seemed to have almost cognac tones, but I'm happy with it. Very classy look, and the leather relaxed within a day or so. I also really appreciate the opportunity to support this small business (so I didn't have get something substandard from China via the big A...). Pricing was great, shipping speedy fast, and I love that this is just up the road from me, so to speak, here in the beautiful PNW. Thank you!
