K01 - Prototipo B

• OEM-style folding technique: At this folding technique, the strap gets the same uniform Thickness on both sides of Strap-parts as a normal manufacturer's Strap and can be mounted to the watch with tubes.

• True Vintage Technique: True Vintage Straps were built in the 1950s for vintage Panerai watches. For this historic massive folding technique, the "4-fold inner sandwich technique" is used for the short side and the "3-fold folding technique" and for the long side. As a result, the Strap thick ond Lugside and touches the watch case, so you have no distance between the watch case and Strap.

• 2533 Folding technique: This folding technique was developed in the 1930s for Vintage Rolex / Panerai Radiomir watches. In this historic massive folding technique.Both sides with 3,5 Layers Inner Sandwich technique.

• 3646 Folding technique: This folding technique was also developed in the 1930s for Vintage Rolex / Panerai Radiomir watches. This historic voluminous folding technique uses 3.5 times "inner folding technique" on both sides. 

• In all three historical folding techniques, the Strap on the Lug-Side is thicker and there is no gap between the Strap and Watchcase at Lugside! So you should take time for the first installation (without Tubes). But even after the first installation, the leather strap on the Lug-Side is slightly deformed by the watch case, resulting in a simpler and faster assembly on subsequent installation!

Our saddle stitch guarantees maximum stability and durability. Our hand-stitched piece that uses the "running stitch" provides a stronger and more durable construction than the machine sewn piece that uses the "locking stitch". 

If a thread were to snap on a piece that uses a sewing machine, the entire line of thread could potential unravel allowing the two pieces of leather to separate. However in a hand-stitched piece, the thread will not unravel and the leather pieces will not separate from each other. More importantly, it's easier to repair the line of stitching.  

Watch straps, which are joined together with a saddle stitching, are made in careful and time-consuming manual work. 

This allows us to respond to individual peculiarities of the material and offer a better Premiun product.

Hand-made straps require a lot more skills, dedication and time as every single hole that needs to be punched very precise in the leather in order to sew the strap.
