HalCyon Straps Gallery

Greetings from HalCyon Straps & thanks for stopping by. I’m a strapmaker by hobby after my regular day job. I started making straps for Panerai watches about a year & a half ago. As an avid watch collector, I love how each strap change creates a different character, personality, depth & dimension to the watches i'm wearing. I found myself spending hundreds of dollars on straps which sadly many of them did not meet my expectations. so i thought, hey, i could build one for me just as good... if not better. And so i did... and my journey began. One strap after another, a couple of projects here and there generated enough interest for me to start taking this to the next level... and so here's a place i've created to share with you my work & passion.

Each strap from my creations are entirely made by hand and each handcrafted piece is unique & one of a kind. Sure there’ll be minor imperfections you will notice in all handmade products but in my personal opinion these are the unique characteristics that make a handcrafted strap so much more aesthetically special, genuine, filled with character & personalized to suit ones individual style & taste

Most of the straps I am offering are available in limited quantity, some no more than 10 straps made per type of leather as I source my leather in small quantities for most of my strap projects.

Here are some of my current and past creations:

*****The Closet Classic*****

This is an amazing old vintage full grain calf leather which is been well preserved and kept as a private stock of my leather supplier for many years . The color and texture of the hide is so beautiful and has naturally developed a nice patina over the years its been kept and maintained. A True Closet Classic!
