Leather Watch Band

May 25, 2023

While there are many videos on YouTube describing how to make a watch band, most videos just layer the leather and paint the edges. Dr. Roysdon took a different approach bytapering the top layer at the edge and draping the top layer over the sides. This new process requires 48 steps (versus 25 in the old process) to make a watch band. The result is a beautiful, continuous, leather grain from top to bottom. While this is a much more difficult process, the result is elegant, professional, and more comfortable to wear.

*Note: we use the Artisan Leather Supply creasing tool to burnish and crease the edges of the leather. The “Made in USA” stamp was made by Dr. Roysdon on a CNC mill.
