One of the aspects that are sometimes neglected and that insurance change radically the aspect of a clock is its strap. And if it is of exotic skins, as the crocodile, the elegance is guaranteed




This high quality material has a natural structural surface which is accentuated and highlighted through finishing and further refined. The great individuality of this material makes each strap has a personal character, a specific structure, which makes each strap a cherished and coveted watch unique.





We all know that the "StrapMaster" Jacobs, happened long ago, to be a great craftsman of belts, which realizes our chimeras, to become a great teacher and an international benchmark.

I have the privilege to show you the first unit of its new creation.
Hornback "Exclusive" for Audemars Piguet.
- Premium leather "A" and in this model only comes a leather strap, and not all type of leather. It has to meet several requirements, such as age, size, etc. Very hard to find.
- Hump Cartilage real, not simulated.
- Thread continuous quality polyester.
- Adhesives and quality tested, developed exclusively for JacobStrap and for this type of leather, considering pore, texture, etc..
- The art and craftsmanship of Jacobs

He's a real quality craftsman, I've seen his straps posted on other forums and the attention to detail is fantastic, but his web site sucks for me, what price are these?

I've been on his site as well, and it sucks ass. If he had a better setup, I would likely order.

Jacob, is a real gentleman very pleasant to deal with.
I ordered a Montauk strap, was not 100% happy with the stitch color.
Wanted it a tint lighter, he was full understanding did restitch and shipping back to me of no charge.

When I enquired a few weeks ago for a 57th St hornback, the quote was 220 euro.

If the Op is correct and its the finest stock available and lovingly stitched, well, you can't put a price on that.

Well, Jacob has I suppose.
