Better quality than some revered straps made in Paris for one third the cost!
I’m really impressed with this watch strap. The material feels durable yet soft on the wrist, and the stitching is solid. It was easy to install and gives my watch a fresh, stylish look. Highly recommended if you’re looking to upgrade your strap without breaking the bank.
I found them through an impulse buy during some late night doom scrolling, had no idea about Jayson's small family business backstory until later. Made-to-order (MTO) was necessary as I wanted an unusual 21/18 width, short length, plus curved lugs for my JLC. They estimated 15 biz days but shipped in 9, then it took 5 biz days to get from Australia to USA.
The alligator leather is soft and required only a week to break in. Compared to the glossy, padded JLC strap, I chose this matte, unpadded style, which tones down the dressy shine of the watch, which I wear as my daily. The product feels like it came from my personal leathercraftsman, packaged nicely in a cloth pouch. Pricing is competitive with the usual alternatives, but I love the fact that I am supporting a family business of three people!
I am so impressed with the quality and finish of these straps. The watch gets an instant chic makeover! I will be indulging in my third from Artisan Straps.
