About Us
I'm first and foremost a watch enthusiast. As someone who spends countless hours hunting for vintage timepieces and admiring modern dress watches, I've developed a deep love for discovering hidden gems in the watch world.
I started Quaint & Collectible, because I kept running into the same problem as my collection grew - I couldn't find watch straps that matched the quality I wanted without breaking the bank. That's what pushed me to start this brand. I want other watch lovers to have access to well-made straps at prices that make sense.
Right now, it's just me and my partner making this work - I'm the one handling emails and planning the next photoshoot, while my partner crafts each leather strap by hand with the kind of attention to detail that watch enthusiasts like us truly appreciate.
Our Handcrafting Process
Our commitment to 100% handcrafting in small batches means we can pour our expertise into every stitch and fold. We carefully select genuine leather of the finest quality, knowing that your strap should not only complement your watch but also stand the test of time. In fact, we've designed our straps to age gracefully, developing a beautiful patina that mirrors the journey of your treasured timepiece.
Selecting Nature's Finest
Finest Leather
In our workshop, each hide is carefully inspected and hand-selected. We seek out only the finest full-grain leather, choosing pieces that promise to age beautifully and tell a unique story. This meticulous selection process is the cornerstone of our small-batch philosophy, ensuring that every strap we craft starts with uncompromising quality.
Precision in every slice
The Perfect Cut
Our artisan carefully cuts a piece of premium leather, ensuring each strap starts with the perfect foundation. This crucial first step sets the stage for a strap that's not just beautiful, but precisely fitted to your timepiece.
Crafting the finer details
Small Batch and 100% Handcrafted
We limit our production numbers, allowing us to pour our expertise and passion into every single piece. From the initial cut to the final stitch, every step is performed by hand. This commitment to 100% handcrafted production not only guarantees superior quality but also imbues each strap with a touch of individuality.
