Hengerli: 20 Years of Expertise in Custom Crocodile Leather Watch Straps

In the world of fine timepieces, finding the perfect strap to match your watch is a rare art. It should be an extension of your personal style—a reflection of your taste and character, crafted to pair flawlessly with your timepiece. That’s exactly why Hengerli exists. What began as a small watch repair studio two decades ago has evolved into a luxury atelier specializing in handcrafted custom crocodile leather watch straps. Today, we deliver exceptional craftsmanship and dedicated service to help every customer elevate their watch with a strap as unique as they are.

Who We Are

Hengerli began its journey as a traditional watch repair workshop. Over the past 20 years, we’ve cultivated deep expertise in horology, craftsmanship, and design. As we serviced more timepieces, we discovered a gap in the market for truly high-end, personalized crocodile leather watch straps. This insight became our mission: to offer collectors and connoisseurs not just a strap, but a fully customized luxury accessory that enhances their watch and personal expression.

Premium Bespoke Service

At Hengerli, personalization is at the heart of everything we do. Each crocodile leather strap is made to order, tailored specifically to your wrist and watch. Simply provide your watch model and strap dimensions, and our master artisans will create a piece designed just for you.

Our custom service supports all major watch brands—from Swiss icons to rare limited editions. You can also select your preferred color, grain pattern, thickness, and stitching style. Whether you favor timeless black, rich dark brown, or unique shades like navy or burgundy, we help you design a strap that perfectly complements your watch and wardrobe.

Craftsmanship Refined Over Two Decades

With 20 years of hands-on experience, Hengerli is rooted in traditional craftsmanship and precision. We work exclusively with genuine American alligator leather, known for its fine texture and durability. Every strap is handcrafted by seasoned artisans who produce no more than three straps per day—ensuring every piece receives the utmost attention.

Each strap features:

  • A signature full-cut belly grain for a bold, structured look

  • A calfskin leather lining for enhanced comfort and softness

  • Hand-stitched seams to increase longevity

As time passes, our straps form a unique patina and conform to your wrist, making them even more comfortable and personal with every wear.

Precision Fit & Perfect Integration

We understand that every timepiece is different, and so is every client. That’s why we focus not only on aesthetics, but also on perfect compatibility between the strap and your watch case. Our straps are custom-cut to fit your lugs, case curvature, and wrist size with absolute precision.
