Watch Straps
Each Watch Strap includes an untearable linen and stiffener material to preserve it through years of wearing it
"Time Ripple" Astronomical Watch Strap
Crafted for those who dare to wander, the "Time Ripple" watch strap is forged from the belly of the snake, its rippled texture echoing the invisible waves that ripple through the universe—gravitational echoes, born in the deep, silent heart of the cosmos. This strap, with its rich blue hue, is a tribute to our restless journey across the vast, cold expanse of existence, bound to the pale blue dot we call home.
The story it carries is as old as the stars: Apollo, the god of light, sent the crow to fetch water for his sacred rites. Tempted and distracted by a fig tree’s fruit, the crow returned days later with excuses and a water snake in its claws. In wrath, Apollo cast the crow, the cup, and the snake into the night sky, where they remain—reminders of failure, consequence, and the eternal dance of the heavens.
Made with the skill of a master craftsman, the "Time Ripple" is bound with two rolled edges, one of supple leather, the other of cork, blending strength and lightness to capture the essence of spacetime's fluidity. It’s not just a strap for your watch but a call to remember the vastness of the universe and the fleeting, fiery pulse of life within it.

Using multiple layers of materials to ensure long-term rigidity and flexibility and tear-resistance, each watch strap is stitched with a double thread using the saddle stitch or Point-Sellier. I received a TINTIN watch when I was 10 years old. Now around a quarter of a century later, I was able to redo the watch strap and extend the life of this piece of history.
Blue Snakeskin Leather
Although the skin is as thin as a paper sheet, constructing with multiple layers makes it possible to use, but beware, like snakes in real life, it is sensitive to flame, and will retract it. "Cartier" clasp so no holes to preserve the snake skin esthetic . Portuguese Cork lining for better comfort
