A Heritage-Inspired Timepiece Evolution

Our leather Apple Watch straps represent a remarkable fusion of Victorian craftsmanship and modern technology. Drawing inspiration from Arthur Garstin's pioneering "wristlet" design—officially registered with the Board of Trade on September 2nd, 1893 (RD217622) - these straps may trace their lineage to what could be considered the world's first commercially produced leather wristwatch holder.

Impeccable Craftsmanship & Materials

Each Apple Watch strap undergoes our meticulous 150-year-old crafting process. Fifth-generation artisans hand-select and cut the finest Italian vegetable-tanned leathers, applying proprietary tanning methods passed down through generations. The result is a strap with exceptional durability while maintaining supple comfort from first wear. Our signature saddle-stitching technique - impossible to replicate by machines - ensures longevity that mass-produced straps simply cannot match.

Thoughtfully Designed for Modern Functionality

The distinctive bund-style silhouette pays homage to the original Garstin wristlet, while the rear is lined with sumptuously soft burgundy leather for supreme comfort against the skin. A precisely positioned aperture allows uninterrupted functionality of the Apple Watch's sensors, ensuring your device performs flawlessly while looking exceptional.

Develop a Personal Legacy

Available in an expertly curated palette of timeless hues, each strap develops a rich, personal patina over time, narrating the unique journey of its wearer. As with all Garstin 1871 products, our Apple Watch straps come with our lifetime promise - a commitment to repair and maintain any piece bearing our hallmark.

For the Discerning Few

Whether commanding attention in the boardroom or accompanying you on a weekend escape, our Apple Watch straps speak to an appreciation for heritage and artistry in an era of fleeting trends. The discreet Garstin hallmark embossed on each strap isn't merely branding - it's our promise of excellence that has defined leather craftsmanship since Victorian times.
