Product Care - Leather straps

Protection against heat

Do not expose your leather watch band to strong heat sources such as open fires, heaters and the like.

Protection against light

Do not expose your band to strong light sources such as the sun or strong lamps for long periods of time, as this may damage the surface of the leather.

Protection against water

Avoid contact with water and moisture to prevent discoloration or deformation.

Chemical products

Please remember that leather is absorbent. Therefore, avoid contact with greasy or cosmetic substances.

Drying a damp band

Let damp or wet bands dry at normal room temperature or, even better, in a cool place. Avoid extreme heat.

Cleaning

Rub the band with a damp cloth and, if necessary, with a mild soap solution. This method is especially good for smooth and grained leather as well as all delicate bands. Be careful not to let the leather absorb too much moisture, even if it is very dry.

Brushing

Please use a soft brush (e.g. nail brush). Brushing is especially recommended for nubuck and other bands made of delicate material. This removes dirt and refreshes the fibers of the surface.

And if all else fails ...
