Making An Alligator Watch Strap
We craft on knowledge
We only use traditional techniques and exceptional materials.
The lifetime of an object crafted, sewed and finished by hand is irrefutable. We add passion and emotions in every object that we create. The attention to details is our priority. We believe that small details can make a big difference.
We only use premium materials
The materials used to design our objects are of the highest quality. We make no compromise in choosing the materials. The leathers are sourced from centuries-old French tanneries where the skins are treated and processed to the very highest and most exacting standards.
The thread used to sew our objects is made of flax and treated with wax to ensure maximum strength and longevity.
Carefully hand-stitched
Each Watch Strap and Card Holder is hand-stitched with a unique technique. This technique lets you use the product safe for a very long period of time.
Card Holder Reconditioning
Our ambitious vision is to create one-of-a-kind, Made To Last objects entirely by hand and to offer you a unique experience. We keep our promise.
After one year from your purchase, we offer to recondition your Bespoke Card Holder (Alligator, Calf, Goat or Ostrich). We will contact you after exactly one year from your purchase and we will take care of every detail. Read More.
TESTIMONIALS
I'd been looking for the perfect grain leather strap for some time for my Omega Railmaster, but I couldn't find anything that completely satisfied me. That was until I found @genteelhandmade's Instagram Page! Not only did the strap meet my very high standards, but the personalized customer service was exceptional. I've honestly lost count of how many @genteelhandmade straps I have now - around 12 or 14, I think!

"George's craftmanship is outstanding, you can tell a lot of effort and love goes into the final product. He was also very responsive to communication when it come to confirming the size of the new strap - the customer service was excellent. I would highly recommend Genteel Handmade to anyone considering a bespoke strap"

"George offers a personal and responsive service with clear communication throughout. I have used him a number of times to design straps for Rolex and Omega watches. His choice of materials, bespoke touches, attention to detail and craftsmanship has resulted in an outstanding strap on every occasion. My first choice for custom luxury straps.”

"I have to say I was a bit skeptical about ordering a custom watch strap instead of getting one from OMEGA but after receiving this, you've put my concerns to bed. This is absolutely incredible, brilliant craftmanship and it complements my Speedy so well! Thank you so much man."
