Selected leathers
Matte alligator has a texture that glossy finishes cannot. It absorbs light rather than reflecting it, bringing dark gray to an almost mineral depth. On an Apple Watch, where the display already does all the visual work, this strap chooses to take a step back — with the discretion of someone who has nothing to prove.
The alligator leather used is soft to the touch from day one. No breaking in is needed: the structure is already tamed, the grain is dense and uniform, the color is stable. Each plate is hand-selected in our Milanese workshops, crafted according to Italian leather goods methods that allow no shortcuts. Color variations between different pieces are not defects — they are the signature of authentic leather.
The gray chosen here is not neutral by convention. It is a shade that holds its own against the aluminum, titanium, or steel case of the Apple Watch without disappearing or overpowering it. It works with a suit, it works with an open shirt. It doesn't require a special occasion to be worn.

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
What sizes are available for my Apple Watch?
We have two groups: 38-40-41mm and 42-44-45-49mm. Let me know your model and I will confirm the right size right away.
What colour is the adapter?
It is your choice: steel, yellow gold, rose gold or black PVD. I recommend looking at the case you already have on your wrist and matching that.
Do I need to break it in before wearing it?
No. This alligator leather arrives already soft, with a fine, even grain from day one. If you put it on in the morning, it will already feel like yours by the evening.
Why do two identical straps have different shades?
This is genuine alligator leather, not printed. I select each plate by hand in my workshop in Milan, and slight tonal variations from one piece to another are part of the natural leather. It is not a defect.
How thick is this strap?
3.5mm near the case, tapering to 2.5mm towards the buckle. This keeps it comfortable on the wrist without weighing down the watch.
