Explanation of spring bar selection
Spring bars are small, spring-loaded metal pins used to securely attach watch straps to watch cases. They allow the strap to be attached to the watch.
The (⌀1.8mm) is the diameter of the spring bar.
Most of the time, the old strap still has a normal spring bar in it. If it is intact, you can replace it.
If not, we offer three types of spring bars that are already integrated into your strap!
Quick-change spring bar: especially recommended if you want to change the strap on your watch very frequently and do not have a spring bar tool.
Normal spring bar: recommended for you if you have a spring bar tool at home.
Curved spring bar: is particularly important for watches where the lug is close to the watch case. This is often the case with new Rolex models. With a curved spring bar, you minimize the likelihood of your strap being damaged at the lug.

All FAQWhere are the straps made?
Each of our straps in the online shop is made by hand in our small factory in the Bavarian Forest.
How do I care for the leather strap?
Avoid prolonged contact with water, sweat and direct sunlight. Occasionally use a special leather care cream to keep the leather supple and extend its lifespan.
Can every strap be fitted with a folding clasp? How do I order the right size? And can you fit the folding clasp straight away?
Any tape with a thickness of less than 4mm
can be mounted on a folding clasp. To find the right size of the
folding clasp, the course of the strap is the second number
important.
If the band is 20/16mm
you would need a 16 mm folding clasp.
We could also replace the folding clasp

Are the leather bracelets allergy-friendly
Our bracelets are made of natural materials that are generally well tolerated. The insides are often made of hypoallergenic vegetable tanned leather.
What kind of leather are the bracelets made of?
Our bracelets are made from the highest quality leather hides and come from the most renowned tanneries worldwide. We name most of them by name, but this is not always possible for fear of imitators.
How long does a leather strap last?
The lifespan of a leather bracelet depends on use and care. If well cared for, a bracelet can last for several years, but will show natural signs of wear after a while with daily wear.
