A shell cordovan watch strap starts with something that is not a hide at all. Cordovan comes from a fibrous flat muscle beneath the rump, yielding two small irregular shells per an imal, which is why supply is permanently constrained. This shell cordovan watch strap uses Horween shells, from the Chicago family tannery working since 1905, hand-stitched into a padded strap with a foam core that gives it height and presence on a larger case. Polished buckle, Gütermann Thread. Seven colours, 18 to 24 millimetres. Cordovan does not crease into lines, it ripples, and it returns to a mirror lustre with a buff. Show more
