Watch straps are one of the best ways to provide new life to a watch by giving different looks. Since launching the channel I have developed several watch strap lines and worked with different manufacturers until launching a new line this year with Hadley Roma. In this video, we tour the facility where our US watch straps are made, the process used to create the different brands on our site, and things to consider as a buyer when looking to buy straps by examining different materials.

Hey all, thanks for watching. Just for 100% transparency, there are also more affordable straps on our site that Hadley Roma makes for us that are made overseas as well so we can hit all price brackets. All products on the site that are made in the US are marked and it is clearly mentioned in the description. Just wanted to make that clear for those stopping by the site looking to support made in the USA goods. Appreciate the support and I hope you enjoyed seeing the process!

Do your straps have quick release springs and deployant clasps?

@TeddyBaldassarre 3 года назад

@@okihaveaname we offer deployant buckles on the site and quick release can be added to any leather strap upon request following an order.

I'm the guy who can never find a watch that fits. I always order 5 extra links to my wristbands and never wears leather or poly material because nobody makes my size. A G-shock is barely long enough to close on the last hole (it falls off).

Oh niiice, not often.... actually I don't think I've ever seen a video on how straps are made, you get lots about the tearing down and fixing up of the inner workings of watches, but the strap? I think this is a first for me. Great stuff!

@TeddyBaldassarre 3 года назад

It is a very involved process. There are more steps in making a watch strap than a belt and many other leather goods. Thanks for watching!

@harveyphil7335 3 года назад

As a watch enthusiast, I found this to be an excellent video highlighting the craft and passion of strap making. In our growing world of automation, what a refreshing reminder of work of the human hand. Well done here, Teddy. Keep sharing your passion with us. I'm sold on the quality Hadley Roma traps you distribute. Happy Holidays.

@erikbasil2787 3 года назад

This is a great video, Teddy! Not only did you educate me regarding Hadley Roma and the extraordinarily old school techniques used to produce a product right here in America, but also about the straps you sell that they produce for you. I have to admit, I learned a lot and I enjoyed the level of information and insight...wishing only for more. This was very, very good. Following this video, I have reinvigorated my search to find a new strap for my 1970 Accutron (which has an Imperial lug-spacing that translates to around 17.5 mm) via your site and Hadley-Roma's.

@paulp9122 3 года назад

I've really learned a lot from your watch reviews and ways to approach collecting. Ordered two straps yesterday and will likely get my next watch from your site. Great vid!

I've long appreciated Hadley Roma for their established history and certainly because they're a USA manufacturer providing quality and reasonable price points. Thanks so much for profiling and using their products. I have a Hadley folding clasp bracelet from the early 30's that came with a 1935 Bulova President with "Wandering Seconds." Really cool knowing the same company made this vintage bracelet as well as my modern straps!
