About Genuine Horween Leather

This strap is produced from Horween Chromexcel leather traditionally manufactured in the US. Characterised by rich pull-up and hand-rubbed finishes, this old-world craftsmanship has been passed down through generations and is renowned for producing exceptional quality leathers that withstand the test of time. This combination-tanned leather undergoes a lengthy 89-step process which involves “hot stuffing”, this sees the leather saturated with a variety of oils, greases and waxes that results in a supple, rich-in-colour leather that is widely used for high-end leather goods. Thanks to this process, you can see the oils and waxes moving around the leather for an authentic aged look.

Timeless Patina

Horween Chromexcel is a premium leather highly prized for watch straps due to its rich character, supple feel, and exceptional durability. Crafted in Chicago using a time-tested blend of chrome and vegetable tanning, it’s infused with natural oils and waxes that give it a signature pull-up effect, where the colour shifts with movement, adding depth and personality to every strap.

Chromexcel develops a beautiful patina over time, making each watch strap unique to its wearer. Its comfort, resilience, and classic finish make it a top choice for those seeking a strap that balances timeless style with everyday practicality.

Zermatt Leather Lining

Zermatt leather is the ideal choice for watch strap linings, offering exceptional comfort, durability, and skin-friendliness. Specially developed for items worn against the skin, it’s chrome-free, hypoallergenic, and resistant to moisture, sweat, and oils, making it perfect for everyday wear.

Produced by the renowned Haas tannery in France, Zermatt combines a smooth, supple feel with outstanding resilience, ensuring the strap remains comfortable and intact over time. Its luxurious matte finish and high-performance qualities make it the go-to lining material for high-end watch straps that prioritise both function and refinement.
