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.
With its sought-after rectangular scales hand-brushed to a silky matte sheen, Hirsch's elegant London strap is constructed from carefully selected, genuine deep barrel-dyed Louisiana alligator. London features a fine matched backstitched seam, defined embossing on the keepers, a hand-sewn bar seam along the buckle and safety stitching on the keeper. The rembordé edges have three layers of lacquer, also applied by hand. Hirsch's Silkglove 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.

Sizing & fit help
Padded leather straps wear with a fuller, more structured feel that gives the watch added presence on the wrist. The layered construction creates a rounded profile at the case while remaining smooth and comfortable against the skin.
The two-piece layout keeps the watch centered and supported, with the padding tapering away toward the buckle so the strap does not feel bulky once fastened. After settling, the strap maintains its shape and position, favoring a stable, refined fit over flexibility or drape.
Hirsch length labeling: Hirsch uses M for Short length and L for Regular length on product packaging.
Length & wrist size:
110mm / 70mm (fits wrists approx. 6.25–7.0in)
Measurements exclude the buckle.
Care & wear
Water exposure: Splash resistant, suitable for light moisture such as hand washing or rain.
Clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use cleaning products, including leather cleaners. For heavier soiling, the strap may be briefly rinsed under running water. Avoid soaking or prolonged exposure to water. Dry with a soft cotton cloth or allow to air dry at room temperature. If the strap becomes damp from perspiration or heat, gently wipe with a dry, soft cloth.
