Handdn designs bespoke watchstraps from a wide range of leathers, crafted to express your individuality and elegance.
Handdn’s bespoke watchstraps process.
The first step is selecting the best part of each leather hide. Only clean, even-grained areas are chosen to ensure the quality and durability of the finished strap.
Each piece is hand-cut from the most premium, aesthetically flawless areas of the leather, following precise patterns for accuracy and consistency.
Leather skiving is a crucial step that requires skill and experience. The leather is carefully thinned to the appropriate thickness, ensuring the finished watch strap is comfortable, and refined.
A layer of Velodon SH-220 is placed inside the strap to enhance durability and strength, helping maintain its shape and resist cracking over time.
Golden Zermatt is our default lining leather, made from Alpine calfskin. This lining leather is also hand-skived to achieve the appropriate thickness
The layers are bonded together using a specialized adhesive designed for watch straps. A hammer and roller are then used to press the layers firmly together, creating a strong bond while preventing air bubbles and gaps.
Each strap is meticulously shaped by hand to achieve its final form. Skilled craftsmanship ensures precise dimensions and a perfect fit to the customer’s specifications.
Stitch holes are precisely punched to create even, secure stitching and a clean, refined finish.
Before the finishing process begins, each strap undergoes a thorough quality inspection. The strap’s thickness, shape, and dimensions are carefully checked to ensure they meet our standards.
Handdn uses the traditional saddle stitch technique. Sewn by hand with two needles and a single thread, it creates a strong, durable seam that remains secure even if one stitch is damaged.
A leather creaser is used to create a clean crease along the stitching line, enhancing the strap’s appearance while strengthening and defining the edges.
The strap edges are painted in multiple layers, with sanding between each coat to create a smooth, sealed finish. This process is repeated at least three times to achieve Handdn’s quality standards.
Both a fixed keeper and a free keeper are attached to each strap. They secure the excess strap length, creating a clean appearance and a comfortable fit.
A second quality inspection is carried out to check the overall finishing include: stitching, thread color, edge finishing.
Pin holes are precisely punched to securely attach the buckle and provide adjustable sizing. The hole size can also be customized to match your preferred buckle.
A buckle tongue hole is punched before the buckle is attached and tang buckle is provided as standard.
A specialized tool is used to install the quick release spring bars. The pin holes are precisely sized to match each spring bar, providing a secure fit when attaching the strap to the watch.
Handdn’s logo, names, initials, or other custom details can be engraved onto the strap according to the customer’s request.
A third quality inspection is carried out to check all hardware before the strap is handed over to the Customer Service (CS) team for final inspection and packaging.
The Customer Service team verifies each completed strap against the customer’s order, checking the material, dimensions, and hardware before packaging and worldwide shipping.
With Handdn, it is not just a strap, each piece reflects the pride, dedication, and craftsmanship of the artisan who made it.
