Wrist Size Guide

What's the difference

How to measure your wrist

1. Wrap a string around your wrist and note where the loop closes.

Note: Leave a "pinky's tip" worth of a gap under your wrist for comfort.

2. Use a ruler to measure the length of your string, that's your wrist circumference.

Calculate your size

Lug Width Guide

How to find your lug width


Option 1. Measure the distance between the lugs of your watch, where the top end of the straps will go.

Note: Make sure your watch has standard pin holes on the inside of the lugs for quick-release spring bars to latch into.

Option 2. Check the manufacturer's website, or if it's an older model — Google your watch model/year along with the words "lug width". Even better is if you can look up the exact reference number of your watch and Google the lug width for your exact reference number.

A NEW ERA

A REFOCUS ON TRADITION, CRAFTMANSHIP AND UNMATCHED QUALITY

In this new world of automation and cheap commodities everywhere, the whole reason for our existence is to go that extra mile and craft something that's truly rare and exceptional. That's why each Longvadon strap is now crafted by hand, by a single craftsman in our atelier in Germany. In fact, it takes one of our artisans more than 170 individual steps to handcraft a pair of these new bands.

A NEW ERA OF TRADITION, CRAFTMANSHIP, DESIGN, ARTISANRY AND INNOVATION

TUSCAN LEATHER

MADE FROM THE FINEST CROCODILE EMBOSSED CALFSKIN

Leaving behind all our past leather suppliers, the new Caiman Calfskin collection uses only croc-embossed calfskins made in Tuscany by some of the finest tanneries in the country. Although nearly an order of magnitude more expensive than our Caiman Series leather of the past, these calfskins offer far more beauty, durability, sustainability and consistency in quality than anything we've made before.

A COLLECTOR'S DREAM

Despite getting our start bringing premium bands to the Apple Watch, our collections don't end there. That's why with the introduction of the Caiman Calf collection, you can now finally get these watch straps with our state of the art quick-release spring bars to fit the rest of your watch collection as well.

HAND SADDLE STITCHED BY A SINGLE ARTISAN

Each Longvadon band is saddle stitched by hand at our aterlier in Germany. This gorgeous, traditional and very labor intensive method is renowned for its durability. That's because unlike a machine stitch, it creates interlocking stitches where if one breaks, the rest do not unravel, making hand-stitched products far more enduring.

SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING

HANDMADE PACKAGING FOR YEARS-LONG STORAGE

Each pair of Longvadon comes in a new eco-friendly box, handmade in Bulgaria using some of the finest, sustainably made paper in the world coming out of Great Britain. Like any valuable and handmade leather good, each pair now also come with a breathable Organic cotton strap pouch - making it the place to store your watch straps in pristine condition, for years to come.

FOUNDED BY FRENCH BROTHERS

Longvadon came about with a trip to a small village in the south of France in February of 2018. With the Apple Watch gaining in popularity, all one could find was cheap knockoffs or the few bands offered by Apple and its partners. With one of the brothers; Sebastian leaving his corporate job to follow his passion of videography, and Robin having just sold a small watch brand he started a couple years earlier — the stars were aligned for the first croc-embossed leather bands with a design inspired by the swiss watch industry to be born.

Since then, over a hundred thousand Longvadon's have adorned wrists around the world, and now, years later, the brand has entered a new era. An era of Tradition, Craftmanship, Artisanry, Innovation, and an expansion from the Apple Watch to all timepieces.
