01 / Our beginning

A cherished watch.
A new beginning.

Our story began with a customer and an old Rolex. The wish was simple: a new strap that would allow a treasured timepiece to be worn and enjoyed again.

That request led us to leather strap making. In 2016, VINCHHADA opened its atelier in Korea, bringing a growing passion for watches to the craft of leatherwork.

We believe a strap does more than hold a watch. It gives a familiar timepiece a fresh expression, while keeping the memories that make it yours.

02 / Materials & craftsmanship

Character in the leather.
Care in every detail.

From the feel of the leather to the line of the stitching, each detail is considered as part of the whole.

Leather with its own character

Texture, colour and feel give each leather its personality. We choose materials with the finished strap in mind, balancing the look of the watch with the comfort of everyday wear.

Discover different grains, shades and finishes to find the expression that feels right for you.

Made by hand, with intention

Cutting, shaping, stitching and finishing are all part of our craft. Our saddle stitching uses two needles, while careful edge work brings the layers together in a clean, finished line.

It is patient work, guided by the hands and attention of our makers.

03 / The making

Twelve steps. One considered strap.

Our process moves from the first selection of leather to the final finish, with care at every stage.

Steps 01–04

Select & prepare

Leather selection, precise cutting, skiving and reinforcement establish the strap's shape and structure. Each layer has a role in the finished piece.

Steps 05–08

Build & shape

Bonding and hammering bring the layers together. Trimming refines the silhouette, and sanding prepares the edges for a smooth finish.

Steps 09–12

Stitch & finish

Stitch preparation and hand saddle stitching are followed by edge creasing and repeated coats of edge paint. Small details complete the work.

04 / Your watch, your expression

Made to be part
of your everyday.

A favourite watch can feel different with a change of leather, colour or stitching. We create straps for those small, personal choices that make a timepiece your own.
