Hand-Stitched Alligator Strap by Valmont Horlogerie

Hand-Stitched Alligator Strap

Saddle-stitched in Lyon

Square-scale alligator from a single hide, cut, edge-painted and saddle-stitched by hand at our strapmaker in Lyon. The lining is calfskin treated against perspiration, and the strap tapers by 2 mm from lug to buckle so it sits flat on the wrist.

Every strap has quick-release spring bars and fits any Valmont of the matching lug width without tools. Choose a pin buckle for a slimmer profile or the folding clasp to keep the leather from creasing.

    Eleven seconds in a month

    I logged the Lac 38 against an atomic reference for thirty days: plus eleven seconds in total, well inside the published −2/+4. Winding it each morning has become a ritual, and the 70 hours means a weekend off the wrist is no problem.

    They serviced my father’s 1974 piece

    A VH-01 that had not run in twenty years. The atelier replaced the mainspring and two jewels, left the patinated dial exactly as it was, and sent photos of the movement before and after. Not cheap, but I would not trust it to anyone else.

    An honest tool watch

    Over a hundred dives on the Abysse 300 and the bezel still clicks cleanly through all 120 positions. The rubber strap channels really do stop it sticking. Lume fades faster than I would like after an hour in the dark, hence the only nitpick.

    GMT done properly

    Jumping the local hour on landing without stopping the watch is exactly what I wanted. The bracelet micro-adjust is brilliant on long-haul flights. I would have liked a slightly thinner case, but it sits well under a cuff.
