Our Chromexcel leather is a combination-tanned (chrome, then vegetable-tanned) leather from Horween in Chicago USA. Chromexcel is the classic “pull-up” leather, quickly developing character when folded and flexed. The grease that has been impregnated into the leather causes a lovely tonal effect on the surface. This type of leather is perfect for watch straps because it is pliable, water resistant and develops a beautiful patina quickly.

Tannery: Horween, USA
Temper: Soft
Surface: Smooth, semi-supple with a waxy finish
Patina: No
Water Resistance: Moderate. To ensure longevity, avoid moisture or soaking our straps in water.

The Gold Standard for Leather Watch Straps

All of our watch straps are entirely handmade, utilising traditional leather crafting techniques. They are cut, saddle stitched and edge painted by hand to ensure your straps are durable and refined. All of our straps are lined with Zermatt leather, a hypoallergenic and water-resistant french calf leather. As all our leathers are full-grain leathers, the natural characteristics of the leather will show and may vary across straps.

Ecstatic and room to improve

Hey team at artisan.
I ordered two straps. The kangaroo leather with gold stitching. That was MTO. And ordered another ready made dark burgundy strap. The kangaroo leather strap is perfect. 5/5. The burgundy strap quick release spring bars are very hard to get a hold off and very very very difficult if not impossible to get it on or off. So that was a 1/5. Therefore a combined review score of 3/5.
