Our handcrafted Apple Watch straps made from French Novonappa (Barenia) Calfskin from Tannery Haas. The leather Novonappa comes from the French tannery Haas, and is used by many luxury brands for their leather watch straps. Novonappa was originally a saddlery leather which was used in bag-making by some popular brands. It is a combination tanned leather which means it is very soft, yet will develop a patina over time with wear.

This product is hand-stitched and handmade to order.

We line our straps using a hypoallergenic and water-resistant leather called Zermatt. This leather does not stain like suede-like leathers used to line straps by some OEMs.

316L Stainless Steel Hardware

Our Apple Watch straps are equipped with high-qualtiy 316L Stainless Steel buckles and adapters. We offer four colours (stainless steel, gold, rose gold and black PVD) to be a close match with your Apple watch. Our yellow gold hardware are customised to match with the light gold of the Series 7, 8 and 9.

Saddle-Stitched by Hand

Using natural linen thread, we use the traditional saddle stitch method to hand stitch the strap. Unlike machine stitching (lock-stitch), saddle stitching creates a knot at every stitch to ensure greater durability.

Smooth Edges Sealed with Edge Paint

Our edges are finished with multiple layers of edge paint to seal the raw edges from wear-and-tear. The edges are sanded and edge paint is applied. After the first layer of edge paint has dried, another round of sanding and another layer of edge paint is applied. This process repeats until the edge paint is smooth and uniform. We then apply a light layer of wax and polish the edges for a silky smooth finish.
