When making high-quality leather watch straps, there are various processing methods that differ in terms of appearance, comfort and stability. Particularly well-known are rembored straps, cut straps and bow straps - but what exactly do these terms mean? Here is a detailed explanation:
Schnittband – The classic, noble workmanship
A cut strap is a watch strap where the leather is not folded over or sewn around the edges. Instead, the cut edges remain visible and are sealed or polished. This type of processing gives the strap a modern, minimalist look and is particularly popular for high-quality leather straps.
🟢 Advantages of cutting tapes:
✔ Slim and elegant design
✔ Very comfortable to wear because it is more flexible
✔ Particularly durable with high-quality edge sealing
At Fluco , we mainly manufacture cut straps from the finest leather with precise workmanship and a long-lasting seal – perfect for style-conscious wearers.
Rembored Band – Padded Elegance
A rembored strap is a watch strap with a light padding between the upper leather and the lining leather. This gives the strap a slight curve and makes it appear more voluminous.
🔵 Variants:
- Semi-rembored: A light padding for a more subtle effect
- Fully rembored: Stronger padding for a particularly soft feel
🟢 Advantages of rembored bands:
✔ Elegant, slightly padded look
✔ More comfort thanks to soft padding
✔ Particularly suitable for classic watch models
Bug-Band – The traditional craftsmanship
A bow strap is a watch strap in which the upper leather is folded around the edges (bowed) and sewn on the back. This creates rounded, very stable edges that make the strap particularly durable.
🔵 Variants:
- Full-Bow-Band: The leather is completely folded over and fixed
- Partial bow band: Only bowed in certain places
🟢 Advantages of bow straps:
✔ Very robust and durable
✔ High-quality, elegant appearance
✔ Perfect for classic and luxurious watch straps
