Store for handmade watch straps

Welcome to my online store

My handmade leather watch straps are made in parallel widths and are generally between 3mm – 5mm thick. Every aspect of the manufacture of a Toshi Strap is undertaken by hand using traditional techniques – the result is a watch strap that I fully expect will give you good service for many years to come.

Every strap is hand stitched using a 4-ply waxed linen thread, and there are 20 colours of thread available to choose from when you order a strap.

Although I am first and foremost a strap maker I carry a number of items associated with watch straps in stock, so if you have come here looking for a buckle or a spring bar tool I can help too. Click on one of the categories below to see what’s available, and if you see something you like you can click on it for more detailed information. You can also check out my gallery for some inspiration.

I aim to have your strap built and shipped within 5 weeks of receiving your order and payment. This lead time will vary depending on how busy I am when you place your order, but I will always give you a firm dispatch date when I confirm your order.

1.6mm screwdriver for Panerai Luminor

£22.50

Screwdriver in stainless steel for Panerai Luminor. This screwdriver has a 1.6mm cutout end similar to that of the OEM screwdriver that comes with the Luminor watches, and is made for Luminor screw bars. Please note - although this screwdriver is not designed for bracelet screws, if you plan on using this screwdriver to remove screws from a bracelet, please be mindful that often manufacturers use a thread lock glue when putting bracelets together. It is therefore always wise to warm the bracelet screw before un-screwing to loosen the bond (I would suggest using hot water or a hair dryer are the best ways to do this).
