Selected leathers
Cordovan is not bought out of necessity. It is chosen when one has already experienced everything else.
Derived from the densest and most compact part of a horse's rump, shell cordovan is one of the few materials that improves with age without showing signs of wear. It doesn't scratch like calfskin, nor does it flake like surface-treated leathers: its horizontally oriented fibers resist pressure and retain their characteristic luster — a luster that is not achieved through polishing, but is intrinsic to the very structure of the leather.
The black chosen for this strap is deep, dense, without artificial reflections. The ecru stitching breaks up the monochrome with moderation: a chromatic accent that recalls the sartorial traditions of classic watchmaking without being decorative. The contrast exists, but it works subtly.
Production is Italian. The craftsmanship takes place in an atelier — not mass-produced. Each strap goes through the stages of cutting, edging, and hand-stitching before leaving the workshop.

The more you wear it, the more it shines.
Shell cordovan doesn’t soften: it compacts. With wear it develops a deep lustre no polish can imitate, and the warmth of your hand tends to close its marks. Leather for a lifetime.

Frequently asked questions
What sizes are available?
20mm x 16mm and 22mm x 20mm. You choose based on your watch's lug width.
Does Shell Cordovan scratch easily?
No. The fibres run horizontally and are tightly packed, resisting pressure better than calfskin. Over the years the surface does not flake, it gains sheen.
Does ecru stitching get dirty with use?
Over time it develops a patina, as dust and sweat darken it slightly. This is normal and part of the strap's character.
How long is the strap?
115mm on the case side, 75mm on the buckle side. The measurements are fixed and do not vary between the two widths.
Is the thickness suitable for everyday use?
2.5mm. Shell Cordovan is already a dense leather in itself, and this thickness makes it suitable for everyday wear without losing its shape.
