Variations

A staple of formal menswear for centuries, the three-piece suit offers a distinct English charm to the modern gentleman. While we may admire the sophistication and British style so well embodied by James Bond, Sherlock Holmes, and Thomas Shelby, it doesn't mean we'd wear their three-piece suits every day, even if they were tailored from the finest fabrics.

A hint of this heritage and discreet elegance on the wrist, however, would be a beautiful way to bring this rich legacy into our daily lives.

Introducing "James", our new collection of watch straps crafted from archival fabrics and fine leather.

Material

This strap is crafted from a rare and refined combination: an archival wool textile dating back to the 1970s, paired with fine leather. The fabric comes from vintage swatch books once used for tailoring suits, granting it an incredible charm, a highly distinct and warm texture, and a charming houndstooth pattern.

This unique blend merges the warmth and comfort of wool with the strength of leather, offering a pleasant feel on the wrist and a truly singular aesthetic.

Design

Designed to showcase the alliance of wool and leather without ever overdoing it, this strap adopts an understated and refined silhouette. It is ideal for a dress watch, a vintage chronograph, or a contemporary timepiece seeking a touch of originality.

The construction features a turned-edge (rembordé) finish free of topstitching, an ancestral technique that yields a clean, slim, and slightly retro aesthetic.

This strap will offer your watch a subtle balance between classic sophistication and a distinctive style, while remaining versatile enough for both daily and formal wear.

Craftmanship

Each strap is entirely made in France according to demanding artisanal standards: the archival wool fabric is paired with leather through meticulous steps of cutting, assembling, and finishing to guarantee optimal quality and durability.

The precision applied into the assembly ensures that the strap remains comfortable, supple, and resistant, while beautifully retaining its character over time.
