Selected leathers
The alligator doesn't age — it transforms. And in a matte finish, that transformation is even quieter, more personal. Matte black absorbs light instead of reflecting it: no glare, no concession to appearance. Just character.
The stitching is reduced to the bare essentials — a technical choice before an aesthetic one. Less thread means less visual interference, a cleaner surface, a profile that lets the natural texture of the leather speak for itself. Alligator already has everything it needs: the grain, the structure, the density. It doesn't need decoration.
The leather is selected and processed in Italy. The thickness — 3.5mm at the lug end, 2.5mm at the buckle end — ensures a flat fit on the watch and comfort on the wrist. A strap that you wear all day without noticing, yet still gets noticed.

Patina is the signature of time.
Alligator doesn't wear down: it matures. The first months on the wrist soften its flank, light darkens the ridges just slightly, and the colour deepens. We treat it with neutral oils, no varnish to smother the grain: what you take home isn't finished, it's only beginning.
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.

The joy of little things
Changing your strap should be as simple as changing your shoes. With us, it is.
Every strap has integrated quick-release spring bars: swap it in one gesture, no tools, no risk of scratching the lugs. The same watch shifts mood with the moment.

Domande Frequenti
What sizes are available?
I have 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, 21mm and 22mm at the lug. Each size has its own dedicated buckle attachment, 16mm or 18mm depending on the width chosen. Tell me your watch's diameter and we'll find the right one.
How thick is this strap?
3.5mm near the case, tapering down to 2.5mm at the buckle. This way it sits flat on the watch and doesn't add bulk to the wrist. You can wear it all day without noticing it.
Why is the stitching so minimal?
It's a deliberate choice. Less thread, less interference: the alligator grain remains the star. The profile comes out clean, sharp, without unnecessary decoration.
Will it fit a Vacheron Constantin?
Yes, if the lug width matches one of my sizes: 18, 19, 20, 21 or 22mm. Tell me which one you have and we'll check together.
Can I have traditional spring bars instead of the quick release?
Of course. I fit them on request, same price, about a week's wait. Just tell me which size of this strap you'd like them on.
