    Product description

    Design Your Own Watch Strap — Live Preview — a handmade leather watch strap built to your specification in our Ha Noi workshop, drawn on screen before we cut it.

    Choose the leather from five families — Epsom calfskin, ostrich, lizard, alligator and hand-dyed patina — in more than thirty colours. Then set the strap style, lug width, length, thickness and tip shape, the stitching and edge colour, the keeper and the buckle finish. The live 2D preview redraws the strap with every choice, using photographs of the real leathers, so the strap you approve on screen is the one our artisans make.

    Personal engraving on the lining is included free. A soft Zermatt calf lining sits against the wrist and the edges are sanded, burnished and hand-painted to match the leather.

    The leather

    Epsom Calfskin

    Every hide is chosen by hand and cut one strap at a time.

    strap structure

    Built for daily wear

    Watch Strap Structure

    Every strap is built around the three details that decide how it lives on your wrist — not the ones that photograph well.

    1. 01

      Quick release spring bars

      Choose quick release or regular spring bars. We fit them before it ships, so you can change straps in seconds — no tools, no scratched lugs.

    2. 02

      Soft Zermatt lining

      The underside is lined with soft, water-resistant Zermatt — comfortable against the skin all day, and in warm weather.

    3. 03

      Your name on the lining

      Initials or a name, hand-stamped into the lining free of charge, so the piece on your wrist is one of one.

    How it is made

    The XILUGS Crafting Process

    18 handmade steps behind every XILUGS watch strap.

    • Cutting the Leather 01

      Cutting the Leather

      Cut by hand from a full hide against a steel rule — never die-pressed in batches.

    • Skiving 02

      Skiving

      The edges are pared thinner so the strap folds without a ridge under your wrist.

    • Reinforcement 03

      Reinforcement

      A reinforcement layer is set in where the strap takes the most stress.

    • Hammering 04

      Hammering

      The layers are hammered flat so they sit true before they are bonded.

    • Assembly 05

      Assembly

      Outer leather and Zermatt lining are laid up together and aligned by hand.

    • Rolling 06

      Rolling

      The layers are rolled under pressure to bond them into one piece.

    • Shaping 07

      Shaping

      The strap is cut to its final profile and the tip is shaped.

    • Edge Sanding 08

      Edge Sanding

      The raw edge is sanded through descending grits until the layers read as one.

    • Punching the Stitch Holes 09

      Punching the Stitch Holes

      Holes are struck with a pricking iron at a constant angle — what gives a hand seam its slant.

    • Saddle Stitching 10

      Saddle Stitching

      By hand: two needles, one waxed thread, every hole passed twice. It cannot be done by machine.

    • Edge Creasing 11

      Edge Creasing

      A heated creaser draws a fine line along the edge, framing the stitch.

    • Edge Painting 12

      Edge Painting

      The burnished edge is sealed and hand-painted in thin coats to match the leather.

    • Keepers 13

      Keepers

      The keeper loops that hold the tail are made and fitted by hand.

    • Buckle Holes 14

      Buckle Holes

      The pin holes are punched to the exact length you ordered, not a standard pattern.

    • Fitting the Buckle 15

      Fitting the Buckle

      The buckle is fitted in the finish you chose.

    • Spring Bars 16

      Spring Bars

      Quick-release spring bars are fitted so the strap goes on your watch without tools.

    • Quality Control 17

      Quality Control

      Every strap is checked against your order and against itself before it leaves.

    • The Finished Strap 18

      The Finished Strap

      Boxed and shipped with tracking, ready to leave the workshop in 3–5 days.
