Watch Straps, Alarm Clocks, Wall Clocks and Watch Accessories
Everything that is not a wristwatch but belongs around watches is here: a wide choice of accessories at friendly prices. The vast majority are watch straps – Hirsch, Rochet and original Tissot bands in 18, 20 and 22 mm – alongside alarm clocks, wall clocks, watch boxes and watch winders. If you are not sure about the strap size, write to us and we will help you choose; we also fit them in our own service.
How to measure the width of a watch strap
Take off the old strap and use a ruler to measure the inner distance between the two lugs in millimetres – that is the strap width. On men's watches 20 and 22 mm are the most common, on women's watches 12–18 mm. If you are unsure, send us the watch model and we will tell you which watch strap fits it.
Which strap brand should you choose?
- Hirsch: an Austrian strap maker founded in 1765, famous for its stitch-free Rembordé leather technique; the Duke and Osiris Nubuk are popular with us.
- Rochet: a French brand active since 1908; the Neptune, the New York and the Charleston are our favourites.
- Original Tissot straps: they fit Tissot cases precisely.
A clock for the wall, the bedside table, the drawer
Among alarm clocks there are both analogue and digital models, and wall clocks are made in many styles, from the kitchen to the office. For owners of automatic watches a watch winder is useful: it keeps the watch running while you are not wearing it.
Watch service: battery changes, repairs
In our own service we do watch battery changes, strap changes and water-resistance checks. You can also send the watch to us by post, and we send the finished work back to you.
Straps, accessories and service – common questions
Do you do watch battery replacement?
Yes, in our own watch service we replace the batteries of quartz watches, including a seal check on water-resistant watches. You can also send the watch to us by post.
Will you fit a watch strap bought from you?
Yes, we fit a strap bought from us in our service, if you send the watch to us as well. If you do not know the size, write the watch model and we will help.
What does the price of a watch strap depend on?
The price depends on the material, the width and the brand: simple silicone and leather straps are the affordable category, while branded Hirsch and Rochet leather straps and original Tissot bands are the higher tier.
What is a watch winder for?
A watch winder slowly rotates an automatic watch, so it keeps running even if you do not wear it for days. It is useful if you own several automatic watches and alternate between them.
