The Radstock is handmade in Spain by experienced artisans using vegetable tanned top-grain leather. Each Radstock strap is handmade, so individual straps vary slightly from one individual strap to the next. Combined with the refined edge-stitching, the whole package just screams tradition and craftsmanship.
The Radstock is the perfect choice if you’re looking for a strap oozing with a character straight out of the box. The leather is extremely pliable and will fit your wrist like a charm. We’d recommend pairing the Radstock with a vintage or vintage-inspired watch that’s already got a ton of character.
Conceria La Perla Azzurra S.R.L. is a small Tuscan leather tannery producing some of the finest leather available. La Perla is a proud member of the Consorzio Vera Pella Italiana and using traditional methods, the hides are tanned using bark and oil and then through-dyed in large drums.
This leather has a random pebbled appearance and texture, with some parts of the hide being smoother, and other parts being more intensely textured. The tannery soaks the hides in oil and then tumbles the skins in drums allowing the oil to move and produce ‘wrinkles’, bursting with natural character.
