JonesinTokyo Kudu Leather Strap, £89
JonesinTokyo is the project of Douglas Jones, a designer from the UK who moved the Japan in 2007 and began to produce watch straps in 2014. Inspired by the rich leatherworking heritage of both the UK and Japan, he sought out renowned Japanese artisans to learn from to become an expert in his own right. Take for example this beautifully crafted Kudu leather strap. Kudu leather is naturally very strong and develops a patina over time, meaning it will age gracefully with yourself and the watch it’s strapped to.
Available at Jonesintokyo.
Modalo Ambiente Watch Winder, £1,529
Watch winders serve multiple functions in a collection. Most apparent is the fact they keep your automatic watches ready to wear at all times, meaning you don’t have to constantly reset them, something that is particularly important for high complications and calendar watches. At the same time, they also serve as great display cases, especially ones as dynamic as the Modalo Ambiente, which can hold up to nine watches at the same time. Sleek and modern with wooden styling, it’s as much an object of style as the watches it contains.
Available at Modalo.
