Fluco Mountain Bear Nubuck Leather Watch Strap - Brown

Located in Germany's Bavarian Forest, Fluco manufactures 100% in-house at its headquarters in the town of Furth im Wald. Owner Ulrich Fleischmann represents the third generation of his family to lead the company that his grandfather founded more than 70 years ago, producing handmade watch straps of the highest quality for men and women. Fluco carefully vets every partner they collaborate with. They work only with tanneries that produce ecologically and ethically responsible leather, complying with the strictest regulations to ensure environmental safety and exercising verifiable control from the origin of the raw material to the end product. Fluco's buckles are made entirely in Germany, at a traditional company in Baden Württemberg that tasks itself with producing premium clasps for watch straps. Nubuck leather is full-grain sanded on the front of the skin to achieve a velvety, water-repellent surface, supple feel and high breathability. Using fine cowhide leather from Italy, Fluco's Mountain Bear strap is handmade in Germany according to this method. Tone-on-tone stitching seams are double-sewn at the ends and buckle. The edges of each strap are painted, sanded and polished several times by hand. Lining leather from France is water repellent and hypoallergenic. A glass fiber reinforcement inside the strap prevents tearing and shrinking.
