your wrist deserves a story

What started as a small passion project—cutting leather straps at a workbench and sharing them in a Facebook group—quickly grew into something deeper. People weren’t just buying a strap; they were connecting with the feel of something real, made by hand, slowly and intentionally.

As a self-taught leatherworker, I fell in love with the process long before it became a business. Selecting the hide, cutting each piece, shaping the edges, laying every stitch—there’s a rhythm and honesty to it that machines can’t replicate. I work only with high-quality leathers from reputable tanneries, chosen for their character, durability, and the way they age beautifully.

My straps embrace the imperfections that give handmade work its soul: natural grain, slight variations, and subtle marks that show real hands shaped them. Each one is crafted individually, with attention to detail and respect for the craft. That’s what gives Dial & Hide straps their vintage feel and distinctive warmth.

Whether you’re pairing a strap with a treasured heirloom or a daily companion, I want it to feel personal—made for your wrist, your watch, and your style.

Dial & Hide remains a small shop by design. It allows me to focus on quality, connect directly with customers, and create straps with the same care I’d put into my own watch.

This is slow craft. Honest leather. Made for people who appreciate the details.
