It was back on 2007 when I bought my first Panerai, and I imagine a very distressed vintage leather wud be nice for my PAM, at that time I can’t find the style that I want in market, so I tried to made it myself.
I really love vintage leather, thus it droves me to become a strapmaker coz I can play with leather everyday, I was a painter too when I was kid, so there’s a little art blood on me.
I made custom strap for almost any watch brands, like Panerai, Audemars Piguet, Hublot, Rolex, IWC, JLC, Seiko, Sevenfriday, Omega, etc.
The first strap made was in end 2007
It was Vernon Serie, made for my 44mm Luminor Panerai.
It’s a 74 serie, I created it when I saw my Panerai Catalog, and at one page there’s a picture that attract me so much, it was picture of Vintage Panerai attached on strap with “74” written on it.
I realize that it’s impossible to get that since that particular piece is in Panerai Museum. So I tried to re-create it. And my 74 strap was the first 74 “aftermarket” strap that exist in the world.
