People who know me know will tell you that I’m a big fan of a brightly coloured leather watch strap. This is true at any time, but especially during the summer months a colourful watch strap makes so much sense. During the colder months jumpers and jackets cover up the watches we wear, but in the summer they’re on display for everyone to see. Now is the perfect time to make a statement this summer with a handmade leather watch strap that will be sure to get you noticed.

Obviously I’m not the only one that thinks this way – orders for some of the more colourful leathers I have available have taken off over the last couple of months and more and more people are asking about them. As well as Lime, both Lemon and Flame are very popular at the moment. I’m very pleased to see that so many of you have such good taste!

One of my all-time personal favourites is Lime leather, and these photos sent in by a customer in the Netherlands illustrate why perfectly. Lime is a lovely soft but thick leather, and works perfectly on any watch with a  black face. It’s a beautiful colour, shown here on a Panerai 372 – the stitching is olive drab.

So what are you waiting for? If Lime isn’t the right colour for you there are plenty of other colours that will give your watch a new look for the summer in the store. If you’re not sure you can carry it off, don’t worry and take a leap of faith – I’m sure you won’t regret it!

“For me the ultimate summer strap. I love the color!”

Many thanks go to Edwin de Groot, a man with excellent taste, for the testimonial and photos.
