Fabriqué artisanalement à Vicence, en Italie

Un cuir d'alligator italien peut sembler quelque peu paradoxal, mais dans notre cas, c'est tout à fait exact. Provenant de fournisseurs durables au Zimbabwe, où la production de cuir d'alligator constitue une économie rurale en pleine expansion, notre atelier familial basé à Vicence tanne, teint et traite son cuir d'alligator entièrement en interne. Ils sont si rigoureux quant à la provenance de leurs matières premières que non seulement ils ne s'approvisionnent qu'en matériaux conformes à la CITES (la Convention sur le commerce international des espèces de faune et de flore sauvages menacées d'extinction pour les non-initiés), mais ils sont eux-mêmes habilités à délivrer la certification CITES à d'autres. Avec près d'un demi-siècle de savoir-faire pour trouver le meilleur du meilleur (de la meilleure façon possible), nous sommes très confiants que nos bracelets de montre sont tout simplement sans égal.

Craftsmanship

##Pour des bracelets de montre qui résistent à l'épreuve du temps, il n'existe qu'un seul type de cuir que les grandes maisons de mode privilégient. Le cuir d'alligator est reconnu pour sa grande souplesse sans sacrifier une durabilité extrême, ce qui le rend parfaitement adapté à un port constant au poignet. Chaque bracelet de montre présente une formation d'écailles unique, contrairement aux cuirs tannés lisses qui ont une apparence plus uniforme. Une finition mate du bracelet assure qu'un tissu discret mais nettement haut de gamme complète votre montre.

Material

##Face à l'essor du commerce illégal mondial de peaux animales et à l'omniprésence des répliques, il est difficile de distinguer le véritable article (et de source éthique)... Un article en véritable cuir d'alligator doit être accompagné d'une certification CITES qui vous permet de retracer l'origine de votre article jusqu'au fournisseur et à la tannerie d'où il provient. Nous sommes fiers de dire que nous ne travaillons qu'avec le meilleur du meilleur, en soutenant un élevage responsable d'alligators qui permet aux communautés locales du Zimbabwe de prospérer grâce à une économie rurale en expansion.

Made in Vicenza, Italy

An Italian alligator leather may seem like a bit of an oxymoron, but in our case it’s entirely accurate. Sourced from sustainable suppliers in Zimbabwe, where the production of alligator leather is a vitally expanding rural economy, our family-owned workshop based in Vicenza tans, dyes and treats their alligator leather entirely in-house. So careful are they with the provenance of their raw materials, that not only do they only source CITES adhering (that’s the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species to the uninitiated) materials, they themselves are licensed to award CITES certification to others. With almost half a century of knowledge on where to get the best of the best (in the best possible way) behind us, we’re quite confident our watch straps are simply unparalleled.

Product Material

For watch straps that stand the test of time, there’s only one type of leather that the luxury fashion houses favour.

Alligator leather is known to be highly supple without sacrificing extreme durability, making it perfectly suited to constant wear on the wrist. Each watch strap has a unique scale formation, unlike smooth tanned leathers which have a more uniform appearance. A matt finish to the strap ensures a discreet yet markedly high-end fabric complements your watch.

With the rise of the global illegal trade in animal skins and the ubiquity of replicas, it’s difficult to discern the real (and ethically sourced) thing...

A genuine alligator leather article should be accompanied by CITES certification that allows you to trace the origin of your item back to the supplier, and tannery, where it was sourced. We’re proud to say we only work the best of the best, supporting responsible alligator farming that allows local communities in Zimbabwe to thrive from an expanding rural economy.
