November 2016 Gallery update

2016-11-13T14:20:24+00:00November 1st, 2016|

Every couple of months I have to set some time apart to do some "house keeping". It's not a job I particularly relish because I'd much rather be making straps, but it has to be done. One bonus though is that this is the time [...]

Burgundy leather for autumn

2016-11-13T14:20:25+00:00October 19th, 2016|

This morning as I drank my morning coffee I started thinking about changing the strap on my Panerai 305. I have been wearing it on a Lemon strap for most of the summer, but now the weather is changing I wanted something different for the [...]
