Selected leathers
Matte alligator doesn't reflect light—it absorbs it. The matte grey of this strap has a depth that glossy surfaces cannot replicate: it changes tone with natural light, settles over time, and gains character with use.
Made from matte grey alligator leather sourced from Italy, it's designed for those who wear their Apple Watch without wanting to hide it—but without flaunting it either. The combination of wrist technology and handcrafted leather is, in this case, entirely free of contradictions.
Each piece is cut from a single piece of leather: variations in texture and shade are not defects, but the signature of an authentic material. No two straps are identical.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
But if it's opaque, won't it turn dark grey over time? How does this alligator really change?
No, it doesn’t darken. Opaque absorbs light instead of reflecting it — meaning the grey isn’t a finish that wears away, but the leather’s actual colour. What changes is depth: natural light shifts the tone, and wear develops a patina that gives it character. It’s a leather that ages, not deteriorates.
How thick is it? I want it to fit under my Apple Watch without bulking up my wrist.
It starts at 3.5mm at the lug attachment point, then tapers progressively to 2.5mm toward the buckle. This prevents any ridging — the leather thins exactly where it needs to sit flush on your wrist.
I need the alligator for my Watch, but how do I know if I have a 20mm or 22mm?
It depends on your Apple Watch model. We offer both lug widths — 20mm × 16mm or 22mm × 18mm — but the safest way is to check your Watch’s documentation or try a strap you already own. If you’re unsure, contact us: we know which version matches which model.
Since every strap is different because it’s cut from a different piece, how do I know which one I’m receiving?
You don’t know in advance, and that’s not a drawback — it’s the point. When it arrives, you have a piece of opaque grey alligator that’s uniquely yours: texture and shade variations are the signature of authentic material, not flaws. It’s like buying a natural stone: the beauty lies in the fact that no other exists like it.
Is Italian alligator different from others? And how long does it really last if it’s leather?
It’s Italian leather — meaning guaranteed provenance, but I won’t tell you how long it lasts because it depends on how you treat it. It’s full-grain leather, hand-worked: if you abuse it daily without care, it ages differently than if you protect it. What matters is that you know what you’re buying: genuine material, not a synthetic that collapses after a year. Collectors and watch enthusiasts say quality leather straps last years, if you treat them like the important objects they are.
