Apple Watch Ultra 2 Leather Strap - Chestnut Brown

At Garstin 1871, heritage is woven into every detail. Commissioned by British army officers during the skirmishes preceding the Second Boer War, Arthur Garstin crafted the original ‘wristlet’—a pioneering leather timepiece holder. Officially registered with the Board of Trade on September 2nd, 1893 (RD217622), it may well be the first commercially produced leather wristwatch.
\n
\nInspired by his groundbreaking design, we present our exquisite Apple Watch Ultra 2 leather watch strap in Chestnut Brown— creating a seamless fusion of British artisanal craftsmanship and Apple’s cutting-edge technology. The distinguished bund-style silhouette pays homage to the original Garstin wristlet. Where once an officer’s pocket watch rested, now the refined contours of the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Series 10 take pride of place—blending heritage with modernity in perfect harmony.
\n
\nMeticulously handcrafted in England from the finest Italian vegetable-tanned leather, each strap develops a rich, personal patina over time, narrating the unique journey of its wearer. The rear of the strap is lined with sumptuous burgundy leather, ensuring supreme comfort, while a precisely positioned aperture allows uninterrupted functionality of the Apple Watch’s sensors.
\n
\nAvailable in an expertly curated palette of timeless hues, this strap is more than an accessory—it is an emblem of timeless craftsmanship. Whether commanding attention in the boardroom or accompanying you on a weekend escape, it speaks to an appreciation for heritage and artistry in an era of fleeting trends.
