The idea was easy; ‘the best chronographs deserve the best straps, and the best straps have to be beautiful, comfortable and built to last’.
Execution tends to be a little more difficult and so, for instance, it turns out that a 3d printed lug core needs to be fabricated in two parts, using materials with slightly different mechanical properties.
The superb Teju leather standard fit straps from John in Munich will, in due course, be supplemented by a crocodile and saddle leather option made in the UK. Both are hand-made, both are the best in the world.
