First episode I’ve seen and I’m blown away by the animations and overall time and effort you’ve put in. I can’t believe you don’t have more followers!

[@DesignAtelier]

thanks a bunch for the support! i love making these videos and would love more subs. But it's comments like these the fuels the fire!

[@Phloored]

These look nice. I like the 7mm micro adjust in the formex deployant clasp. It's also a omega style design. It can accommodate up to 2.5mm thick straps. It's a little pricier, but i love being able to use the micro adjust for a perfect fit. They only have blasted or brushed finishes. Brushed works for me.

[@uaziz7]

Excellent attention to detail, and explanation. And the usual outstanding performance. Thank you!

[@PocketWatchTime]

May have to pick up an RM style clasp. I love the unique closure mechanism.

[@PocketWatchTime]

They may design a great clasp… but not a great website. How do you select the width when ordering an RM clasp? Says for “19, 20, and 21mm” but doesn’t let you select before purchase.

[@DesignAtelier]

That’s 19, 20 and 21mm is talking about their artem straps. This RM clasp only fits those straps. For bigger straps, this RM clasp is not compatible.

[@PocketWatchTime]

@@DesignAtelier I understand they offer different strap sizes. On further review and to my surprise they only offer one size clasp to fit sizes 19-21mm? I can’t imagine a 2mm tolerance at the buckle end if fitting to a 19mm strap. That’s a lot of wiggle.

[@DesignAtelier]

@@PocketWatchTime the 19 - 21mm is the lug width. I’m sure all of them have about the same 18mm for the buckle tip

[@petercampbell3828]

These are a nice option to have. Most of my watches that I wear regularly have bracelets, but I am planning on making a leather strap and this would be a great choice. Thanks for a thorough, fun to watch review.

[@DesignAtelier]

These are actually super premium. You wont regret your purchase. The RM style for me has just become my go to strap for my zelos.

[@legokingiscool]

perfect comparison thanks!

[@jimferry4751]

Thanks for the video on how to install them. I ordered the basic navy-blue white stitch sailcloth with the stock tag buckle but decided to add a deployant clasp for a nicer look to my Breitling Superocean Heritage ii. Now I will know how to install due to your excellent instructions. Thanks

[@DesignAtelier]

Glad I could help!

[@jimferry4751]

@@DesignAtelier I received my BP FF Clasp today after 3 weeks and have it installed but question is the small anchor bars. How tight should they be screwed in as I fell they are holding but still can be turned. Did you use a second screwdriver to hold the opposite screw and turn the other. Should this anchor pin be tight? Thanks

[@blueshirtbuddah1665]

Great review Jayson!

[@DesignAtelier]

Thanks a bunch bruce

[@TZOID08]

The Artem Omega style deployant has sharp edges and create hot spots. I just got a 21mm strap and deployant and after a few hours wearing I have an indentation on my wrist from the deployant and it's uncomfortable. I may try to smooth it out. Kinda not happy.

[@DesignAtelier]

I’m sorry to hear that. I’ll relay the info to them.

[@kengleonglee]

New to your videos. Great edit. Great content. The only gripe is I had to play your videos on 1.5 speed because of how slow you speak. I enjoyed your video thoroughly. Highly educational

[@monicelson5732]

Thank you for this informative and fun video. I'm considering the all black strap and fifty Fathoms deployment for my Pelagos LHD.

[@DesignAtelier]

You won’t be disappointed. It’s the best!

[@clintonshiells3095]

[@watchsixto]

Awesome work Jayson these clasps look great make any watch collection look new again

You need to pick one up. It’s real class for your watches.

[@julianmoriati4682]

Ah man, besides the nice content, I love your ridiculous good editing and animations!!!❤❤❤

[@Baron_Red]

What is the interior buckle width of the RM and BP style clasps? I want to use it with a different strap that measures 19mm. Also amazing editing in the video!

[@DesignAtelier]

This one is 18mms.

[@dlealchicago]

Best videographer hands down on yt

[@kevinl6231]

I wish they made a 16mm buckle width. I’d buy one in a heartbeat.

[@DesignAtelier]

I’ll mention you’re request. Thanks.

[@conor2439]

They do

[@anthonyonline4740]

Great vid Jayson

[@deonlecointe4185]

Hi. Great video. I really learned a lot and it is shot incredibly well. What strap were you using in the Speedy MK II that was missing the buckle pin? I agree with you that having that gap in the apartment sailcloth is annoying and would like to get a strap to be used with the deployment clasp. The new Artem loopless model is a bit outside of my budget.

[@gameplaysfordayz5967]

can you uprade the tang to a deployent? like if i have a tang can i make it a deployent?

[@DesignAtelier]

Yes you can given the right type of deployant

[@xfrenz93x]

Does the omega style clasp take straps that are 3mm or thicker? I know the original omega clasp does not, but did Artem manufacture theirs to take thicker straps? Thanks!

[@DesignAtelier]

2mm is the most I’ve used on these clasps. 3mm might not fit the groove on the deployant.

[@jamesgranby4125]

Anyone know if the omega style buckle is wide enough to take the omega rubber straps? I know similar aftermarket ones aren’t It’s not the width which is the issue but usually the rubber straps are too thick for the buckle

[@DesignAtelier]

I used around 2mm thick. Any thicker than that may not fit.

[@robertmaxwell3548]

Really nice Band improvements!

[@DesignAtelier]

Oh yes a definite upgrade!

[@TheVDaddyo]

Top notch video!

[@_taxman_]

nice. What white leather strap is that?

[@DesignAtelier]

It’s an AliExpress tag heuer stock strap

Nice review! How was the shipping to the philippines? Have been thinking of grtting one too!

[@DesignAtelier]

Hey there! Unfortunately I do not live in the Philippines.

[@LaFritePerreGoat]

My seiko turtle live most of the time on a mks sailcloth and a rios 1931 deployant clasp. It's an half price alternative but still good quality! 👌 I will definitely look into an artem + rm clasp for my future sinn 556. This seems to be the next step for a Swiss or German watch.

[@DesignAtelier]

It does not disappoint. I may sound like a fanboy but I can’t speak highly enough of the RM clasp by artem.

[@thomasmoll8822]

Plus 1 for the Rios deployant clasp.

You are so welcome

[@anthonyonline4740]

Despite its price. It's a $60 clasp only. No strap. Only clasp. I hope it's flipping high quality!!

[@DesignAtelier]

I’ve handled a wide range of clasp up to haute horology. That 60$ is a bargain.

[@jameskwon7617]

Only one color though. They need to branch out.

[@DesignAtelier]

I actually suggested that. We’ll see.

[@jameskwon7617]

@@DesignAtelier I was looking for a nice sailcloth strap, and Artem was definitely on the list. But the black just doesn't match the watch case or dial, so that was a no go. Too bad. The clasps look great though.

[@gilgameshunseen6217]

It was a nightmare to use and isnt as good as it looks. I regret buying it

[@DesignAtelier]

What made it a nightmare? The hair pulling. Just curious and I can relay it to Artem
