New updates have been added to the site. This time around its focused on watch straps and special features that has been requested more frequently. The update includes:

  • Thin base conversion
  • Special lug width
  • Custom tip style
  • Hidden stitching
  • New buckle colours and widths

Thin base conversion

A useful add on for timepieces with thin lugs. Reducing the thickness at the base allows straps to flow more harmoniously along the contour of thin lugs. Straps without this conversion are 3.5mm and above in thickness (at the base). Thin base straps are made to be under 3mm (at the base).

 

Left: standard base straps (approx 4mm at base). Right: thin base straps (approx 3mm at base).

Special lug width

Some timepieces have lug widths that fall outside of whole numbers. This could also apply for vintage watches that may have been subjected lug wear; resulting in smaller or wider lugs than its initial width. This feature allows you to specify lug widths to the nearest .1mm on each side of the straps.

 Example: 19.3mm long end, 19.7mm short end, 16mm buckle.

 


Custom tip style

  • English point (standard)

  • round tip
