MEASURING A WATCH STRAP
Would you like to entrust us with the making of a bespoke genuine leather watch strap, entirely handmade and hand-sewn in Belgium to equip your timepiece or that of a loved one? It is important to measure some dimensions.
The width of the lug: this dimension is measured at the level of the case of the watch (between the two « lugs ») where the strap strap comes to be fixed. The standard widths are most often: 18mm - 20mm - 22mm - 24mm.
The width of the loop: this dimension is measured inside the loop of your watch strap. The width of the buckle is usually 2mm or even 4mm narrower than the width of the lug and sometimes equal to the width of the lug for a straight watch strap.
The lengths of the two parts of your watch strap: the standard dimensions at Decoster are 115/75, 115mm for the long part and 75mm for the short part. Our atelier Decoster makes bespoke watch straps, so we can adapt these lengths to the dimensions of your choice: 105/65, 125/85, 120/70…
CHOICE OF LEATHER
Novonappa® Calfskin – The Excellence of French Know-How
Novonappa® calfskin, formerly known as Barénia, is a key reference in the world of luxury leather goods. Sourced from Tanneries Haas, established in Alsace since 1842, this full-grain leather is the result of a unique double tanning process, combining mineral and vegetable tanning methods, followed by hot-air drumming.
This process gives Novonappa® exceptional suppleness, a soft texture, and a remarkable ability to develop an elegant patina over time. Its natural finish, free from artificial coatings, highlights the leather's authentic beauty, although this makes it more susceptible to surface marks and scratches.
Appreciated for its soft touch and the depth of its hues, Novonappa® is particularly suited to the creation of high-end leather goods such as wallets and watch straps. Its ability to develop an elegant patina makes it a preferred choice for lovers of unique and durable pieces.
By choosing Novonappa® calfskin, you are choosing an exceptional material, a symbol of French expertise and a commitment to impeccable quality. Each creation made with this leather reflects a perfect blend of artisanal tradition and contemporary aesthetics.
CHOICE OF LEATHER COLOR
Colors available or on request.
CHOICE OF LINEN THREAD
The MEISI Super Fine linen thread we use is a high-quality natural product. The twisting process increases the thread's strength and ensures an exceptional finish for the products in our workshop. All our stitching is done by hand with this superb thread.
To ensure an exceptional finish for the watch straps we make, we offer a wide selection of linen thread colors. Two thicknesses of linen thread are available: very fine (0.35 mm) or fine (0.45 mm).
CHOICE OF EDGE PAINT
The italian edge paint we are using is one of the best edge paints with great penetration and adhesion, durability and flexibility. It is applied by hand in several layers until a smooth edge is obtained.
In order to ensure an exceptional finish to the watch straps which we make entirely by hand, we manually apply our edge dye in several layers until a smooth edge is obtained.
