Our approach

A watch strap or bracelet is not just an accessory; it plays a crucial role in ensuring excellent ergonomics and high wearing comfort. Our straps and bracelets are meticulously engineered and refined to the smallest detail. Each material has been carefully chosen for its quality, durability and aesthetic appeal.

Four Santoni watch straps in black, brown and taupe color

Santoni leather

IWC Schaffhausen formed a partnership with the Italian leather artisan Santoni in 2011. Watch straps manufactured by Santoni are crafted from the finest alligator or calfskin leather and then colored by hand. During the coloring process, several layers are applied using a cloth and a brush to achieve the final nuance.

Strap materials

Leather impresses with a timeless and stylish look and complements all outfits and occasions. It is strong and, at the same time, breathable and supple. Because leather straps stretch and adapt to the wrist over time, they are highly comfortable. Our portfolio includes calf leather, alligator leather, and buffalo leather straps. Some references are fitted with leather straps made by the Italian luxury leather artisan Santoni. These straps are colored by hand and feature a unique patina.

Stainless steel is robust and durable. However, the material is also highly resistant to corrosion and thus unaffected by sweat, moisture, and seawater splashes. Metal bracelets in various designs and with different functionality are available for all our collections. Some feature polished and satin-finished surfaces and fine adjustment clasps. All metal bracelets can easily be adjusted in length.
