Julien Faure - Tudor Straps

So - after having my Black Bay ever since buying it in March on the bracelet...I naturally started thinking about switching it around on weekends and play with NATOs, straps etc.

Courtesy of this forum, I just ordered the Bergeon 6767-F from Amazon and started scrolling the web on information about Tudor straps (well - straps in general).

I came upon this great video (courtesy of Hodinkee) on a company called Julien Faure in France and their way of making straps for the past 150 years.

It's a short video and I though it was quite magnificent and informative

Cheers

The video has been around for a while; it's been a while since I've seen it. Very comfortable straps that they make!!!

Yep - published in January but first time I saw it and did not see it around here.
Looking forward to trying out my Tudor nato. Always been a bracelet guy - but hey, let's see

Tudor is the Rolex of yesteryear. Indeed a great partnership.

Put it on the NATO strap. Half hour later it was back on the bracelet. Guess I'm a bracelet guy - though I believe I will give leather a chance soon.
