Bespoke Watch Strap
Steps to create a perfect watch strap at Handdn
Made to order

Step 1: Cutting Leather
To get the best leather strap, the first step is always to choose the best leather part on the best leather stock.

Step 2: Leather Skiving
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.

Step 3: Reinforcement
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.

Step 4: Hammering
This step helps the different parts of the strap set previously bonded with glue to become tightly together.

Step 5: Link the parts
Everything is connected together with a special glue specialized for making watch straps, consistency and enhance the durability of the strap.

Step 6: Rolling
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.

Step 7: Shaping
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.

Step 8: Edge sanding
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.

Step 9: Punching holes for sewing threads
This facilitates the sewing thread to go evenly and firmly and brings aesthetics to the strap set.

Step 10: Stitching
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.

Step 11: Edge Creasing
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.

Step 12: Edge painting
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.

Step 13: Keepers
Attaching a keeper to a watch strap enhances functionality and style. This creates a tidy look for the strap and ensures a comfortable fit.

Step 14: Punch Pin Holes
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.

Step 15: Install Buckle
Punch a buckle tongue hole and then attach the buckle to the watch strap, ensuring it is secure and functional for easy wear.

Step 16: Release Spring Bars
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.

Step 17: Quality Control
Strap is checked again to ensure that it meets the exact specifications as per customer’s requirements, without cracks, defects, etc.
