STRAPS & SIZING

Made to your wrist in Porto.

A mechanical watch must rest securely and comfortably against your wrist to be enjoyed every day. We partner with leather craftsman Rafael Ortega in Porto and provide in-house bracelet adjustments at our counter in Ghent.

HOW RAFAEL ORTEGA MAKES THEM

Every leather strap in our shop is crafted by partner artisan Rafael Ortega in his Porto workshop. Available in vegetable-tanned calfskin or supple suede for €85, these straps are handmade to match your wrist measurement and case lug width. Rafael selects hides that age gracefully while maintaining thickness around the spring bars.

Visitors at our Ghent counter can also arrange simple strap fitting for €20, or receive complimentary sizing when purchasing any watch from our short list.
