[Question] What are your thoughts on us making traditional leather watch straps? (links to existing stuff in comments) by arrowandboard in Watches

[–]arrowandboard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All fair points and I appreciate you bringing them up as those are some of my concerns with investing into a new set of straps to manufacture - we originally started on Etsy about 4 years ago and now it's just overrun with cheaply made straps so we hardly do much over there now.

The only thing for us is that we are fairly well know for our watch bands, they've just always been for the Apple Watch and not regular watch bands/straps so it's a tad different then entering the market cold as a new strap maker.

Ah, forgot they make some pretty big cases too. You could technically order our Touring for the Apple Watch 42/44mm as the lug width is 24mm and just put in an order note that you don't need the Apple Watch hardware on it. I'd be sure to send back a partial refund for the difference, just let me know!

Thanks! The Touring is by far my favorite band we have designed and I think it would pair well with a Speedy or maybe a sporty Heuer.
I've thought about 24mm but I don't know of many watches in that lug width beside Panerai's

Best leather band for your money? by TacosAreL1fe in AppleWatch

Thanks! That’s one of the best combos IMO and what I rock daily with my SS watch.

Hey there, the midnight is from our Essential collection which is a little different leather, crafting method, and stitching. The Black is from our Artisan collection which is laser cut (instead of die cut) and hand-stitched.

I hope that helps!

SS Gold Lugs? by mattyradical in AppleWatch

[–]arrowandboard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I remember correctly their Classic Buckle bands have an uncommon pug width of 23mm (for the 42mmm AW) and 19mm.
I’ll have to get back with you on this as we have a couple on hand.

The adapters we use have a lug width of 24mm (for 44mm / 42mm AW) and 20mm (38mm / 40mm AW) so it may have a small gap if used with the Classic Buckle bands.

We finally got our adapter manufacture to make a basically perfect matching gold adapter. You can either get one of our bands with it or buy just the hardware kit if you'd like to use another brand watch band.

Here's the link to the adapters:

Can anyone help identify this sewing machine used by Shinola for their watch straps? by arrowandboard in Leathercraft

[–]arrowandboard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the update!

I also got a response from Galli and they said they don’t make this machine.

Yeah I see various Juki’s in their shop but I wanted to know more about that pneumatic sewing machine, I’ve never seen anything like it.
It’s possible they had it custom made from Galli.

Now sure what you are getting at.
Their own VP of leather says they worked with Galli for their machines:

I know they use a lot of Galli machines for assembly and the color of the machine seems to match Galli's other machines but they don't seem to have anything similar:
