Handdn designs bespoke watchstraps from a wide range of leathers, crafted to express your individuality and elegance.
Handdn’s bespoke watchstraps process.
To get the best leather strap, the first step is always to choose the best leather part on the best leather stock.
This is a crucial technique, and skilled craftsmen must have the necessary finesse and experience to achieve the appropriate thinness for the leather. This ensures that the watch strap has the perfect thickness.
The watch strap is made of three main layers: Main surface leather layer, lining layer (Zermatt) and in the middle is a leather layer reinforced with Velodon (SH-220 reinforcement), making the strap durable and strong.
This step helps the different parts of the strap set previously bonded with glue to become tightly together.
Everything is connected together with a special glue specialized for making watch straps, consistency and enhance the durability of the strap.
Applying a roller to the glued layers helps to create a smooth surface, preventing any bubbles or gaps from forming between the layers. This process is crucial for achieving an even finish.
This is the shaping step for the watch strap, meticulously cut by hand by highly skilled craftsmen. Ensure that the strap will have the perfect strap shape and exact dimensions to the customer’s requirements.
This step helps ensure the strap edge is smooth and the edge paint adheres better. At the same time, fine-tune the shape and size of the strap as accurately as possible.
This facilitates the sewing thread to go evenly and firmly and brings aesthetics to the strap set.
All straps are sewn by hand, the thread is sewn in a cross stitch style on both sides around the edge of the strap, making the strap sturdy and bringing high aesthetics to the watch strap.
Creates a contoured line following the stitching line to increase aesthetics, while also making the strap edge firmer and more durable thanks to the high temperature of the Leather Creaser tool.
For each set of watch straps, edge painting is repeated at least 3 times, until the level of perfection is achieved according to Handdn standards. This helps better protect as well as increase the aesthetics of the strap set.
Attaching a keeper to a watch strap enhances functionality and style. This creates a tidy look for the strap and ensures a comfortable fit.
In this step, we will create precise pin holes in the watch strap material. This process is crucial for ensuring that the strap can be securely attached to the watch case and allows for adjustable sizing and, of course, we also can customize their width for you.
Punch a buckle tongue hole and then attach the buckle to the watch strap, ensuring it is secure and functional for easy wear.
Use a specialized tool to punch holes and attach the release spring bar to the strap. Each release spring bar will have different punch holes to ensure a secure fit when attaching the strap to the watch.
Strap is checked again to ensure that it meets the exact specifications as per customer’s requirements, without cracks, defects, etc.
With HANDDN, it is not just a strap, it also carries the pride and all the enthusiasm the craftsman put into it. It’s the best watch strap in the world.
