distressed
vintage · aged · weathered · invecchiato · usurato · patinato
Definition
A finish that artificially reproduces the signs of natural wear on leather and materials, creating a vintage and lived-in appearance. This technique, which I have perfected over the years, gives character and authenticity to the watch strap, simulating the gradual aging that only time could naturally bestow.
Frequently asked questions
Is distressed a durable finish or just an aesthetic effect?
It's a true structural finish. The markings are controlled and permanent, not just surface dust. With use, your watch strap will continue to develop natural patina over the distressed finish, creating authentic uniqueness.
The next step
The right strap isn't chosen. It is built, together.
From the atelier appointment to delivery, every step is made for those who know that things done well take time. Rare leathers, one piece at a time, eighteen months of warranty.
