Selected leathers
An alligator doesn't age – it transforms. And cognac, among all its nuances, is what best tells this story: warm, deep, capable of developing a patina that, over the years, becomes a personal signature.
This strap is made of genuine alligator with a vintage finish: a treatment that softens the leather's natural luster, resulting in a more discreet, less formal texture, suitable for both a sports timepiece and a classic watch. The stitching is done by hand, stitch by stitch – not out of tradition, but because it is the only way to ensure uniform tension along the entire length of the strap.
Each piece is unique. Alligator leather carries the natural variations of the reptile – in the scales, in the tone, in the pattern distribution. The images are a reference; the strap you receive will have its own specific character.
Italian production, short supply chain, artisan control at every stage.

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.

Domande Frequenti
What sizes are available?
In the catalogue you will find a 20mm and a 22mm lug width. With the 20mm the buckle is 16mm, with the 22mm the buckle is 18mm. Please check the variants for sale for your watch.
Is it hand-stitched?
Yes. I sew stitch by stitch, by hand, to keep the tension even along the entire length of the strap.
How does the cognac change over time?
Alligator does not stay still. The cognac darkens slightly and develops a patina that depends on how you wear it. It becomes a colour of its own, no longer the same as at the start.
Is every strap identical to the photos?
No, and it cannot be. This is genuine alligator leather: scales, tone and pattern vary from piece to piece. Yours will have its own specific character.
Does the vintage finish make the strap more suited to a sporty or a classic watch?
The vintage finish softens the leather's natural sheen and makes it less formal. It looks good both on a sports timepiece and on a classic watch.
