The WatchGecko Louvain Croc Handmade Leather Strap is designed for watch enthusiasts who appreciate craftsmanship and quiet detail - a strap that doesn’t compete with the watch, but complements it.
Made from full-grain leather and finished with a precise crocodile-style embossing, the Louvain offers the depth and character of exotic leather while remaining durable and easy to wear. Its cut edges are sealed with colour-matched paint, giving the strap a crisp, clean silhouette that holds up beautifully over time.
Each size has been thoughtfully proportioned to ensure visual balance on the wrist. The 18mm strap tapers to a refined 16mm buckle, while the 20mm and 22mm versions taper to 18mm, preserving a sleek line that flatters both vintage and modern watch cases. The thickness is equally considered, gradually thinning from 4mm at the lugs to around 2.5mm at the tip for improved flexibility and a more natural wrist contour.
This is a strap built for those who notice the little things: the curve of a lug, the grain of leather, the way a watch feels when everything works in harmony.
