Smartwatches

The smartwatch, finally dressed

You wear it from morning to night, in meetings and at dinner. Yet it often wears the same strap as on gym day. An exotic leather changes everything: the same watch, a different presence.

One watch, two lives

Training days

Keep the original sport band for running, swimming or training: it is made for sweat and water.

The rest of the time

At the office, travelling, in the evening: an ostrich, alligator or lizard strap gives your watch the bearing of a fine timepiece.

Ten seconds to switch

Slide rail on Apple Watch, quick-release spring bars on the others: no tools needed, as often as you like.

Why exotic leather on a smartwatch

Contrast is elegance

A black screen, a smooth case… and a living, one-of-a-kind skin with natural scales or quill marks. That contrast is what makes the watch precious.

A strap that outlasts the watch

Smartwatches are replaced every two or three years. A quality strap is kept: it moves from one generation to the next as long as the size stays compatible.

Attention to detail

Neat stitching (by hand as an option), dyed and burnished edges, soft calfskin lining: everything expected from a luxury watch strap, applied to your everyday watch.

Compatibility by brand

The measurements below are indicative. If in doubt, measure the gap between your watch’s lugs or write to us.

Good to know, for all our straps

Sensors stay clear

Heart-rate and other sensors sit under the case: the strap never covers them. It only needs to keep the watch in contact with the skin, which is why the right length matters.

Choosing the right length

Our straps come in 7 lengths, from S (15 cm wrist) to XXL (22 cm). Measure your wrist with a tape or a strip of paper, just above the wrist bone.

Water and sweat

Exotic leather develops a beautiful patina but dislikes chlorine, sea water and the sweat of a long workout. Take it off for the pool and the gym, and keep the sport band for those moments.

Care

Wipe with a soft dry cloth. If it gets wet, let it air-dry, never near a radiator or in the sun. A colourless leather cream twice a year is enough.

The deployant clasp

Optional, it stops the leather from bending at the same spot every time you put the watch on: your strap keeps its shape longer.

Quick-release spring bars

Optional on our spring-bar straps: a small lever is all it takes to swap straps, with no tools and no risk of scratching the watch.

Frequently asked questions

Does a leather strap affect my watch’s readings?

No. The sensors sit under the case, against the skin. A well-fitted strap, neither too tight nor too loose, ensures reliable readings.

Can I sleep with it?

Yes, but leather breathes better if it spends the night in the open air. For nightly sleep tracking, alternate with your sport band.

If I change watch, do I need a new strap?

Not necessarily: an Apple Watch strap fits every watch with the same connector size, old or new. Check your size group on our Apple Watch page.

Can I try it before ordering?

Yes: on every product page, the virtual try-on shows the strap on your own watch from a photo of your wrist.
