Occasionally someone will contact me to ask if I can make a strap for a watch they own which has fixed bars i.e. the bars that hold the strap onto the watch can't be removed and so a standard strap can't be fitted. My [...]
The Anonimo Militare is one of the first dive watches I ever bought, and still one of my favourites. Back in 2006 when I had just started experimenting with making leather watch straps, a friend bought round his cream dialled Militare to ask if I [...]
I'm often asked to make suggestions for straps for specific watches, and it seems the dial colour that many people seem to struggle with most is white. I've recently made a new strap for my Panerai 114, and so I thought I'd take the opportunity [...]
