How It's Made: The HADLEY-ROMA Watchstrap

[@dberghold]

Very nice! Glad to see how you make straps and now I am a much more appreciative retailer of you product. Your company offers a wonderful product and I've been proud and fortunate to offer the whole product line to my customers for many years. Keep up the great work! Dave Berghold - The Last Wind-Up

We feature every Hadley Roma at Memorial Watch and Clock Repair in Houston Texas. They are a great band.

Wow! I had no idea.. Just when I thought the band was about complete, here comes another step in the overall process. Thanks for sharing.

[@landov1412]

wow. thanks to all those women at the factory that work day in and day out to make gorgeous straps!

[@josmo506]

I LOVE videos like this one, as owner of certain product you are proud of, you always want to see how the product you love was made, the people, the tools, machinery, raw materials, etc... to me is so amusing. Thanks for this great video, I love HR products a lot more now than I already did just because of this clip... please make more :D !

I love your watch straps and now have an even greater appreciation of these very comfortable and good looking straps. Please than all your workers for their hard work and dedication.

Cool video. Just ordered a vintage brown leather strap for a Seiko. Nice to see the process.

[@DCMetroGecko]

Just ordered my first one. This video has me even more excited to get it!

Is it possible to make a watch strap with no glue? I wanna make one that’s held together by stitching and won’t fall apart because of glue failure

[@zouriguenabil5507]

ما شاء الله Great work

[@bikerchic62]

Thank you for sharing this video. Great product.

[@deltajohnny]

Very interesting vídeo! Thank you very much for showing us your manufacturing process and keep up the good work!

[@robertgoidel]

Wonderful video.

There is no love into making those straps. Nothing beats a bespoke handmade full grain Leather strap.

[@hyssean12]

Ya these "genuine" leather straps are crap.

[@franzjosephaque2066]

Watch strap is calfskin leather some are covered with thin lizard leather.

[@stvn_w]

great video! btw you already have the sewing machine for leather, why still use hand sewing technique 03:52?

[@mohamedfazlulla4151]

It is just a another method of stitching shown. More over for cut edge straps hand stitching suits much.

[@hyssean12]

Hand sewing is superior in terms of strength. Uses one piece of thread that if one stitch breaks the others still hold. A machine stitch uses two threads that interlock, so if one stitch breaks they will all go soon .

[@BUTJAMGONG]

This is amazing !

[@KamleshKumar-zz6ln]

Nice vedio and nice leather strap

[@watchrepairing]

Make your own watch strap. That out of style old leather jacket is perfect for material. It takes about 4 hours the first time. I used the leather from an old journal, dental floss for thread, and a hot glue gun.

[@Justmyopinionlol]

are only top straps made in USA? I have some very basic models from the 90s marked "made in USA" but it seems like only top models are now made in USA? I don't see a "made in USA" anywhere on the cheaper (sub USD 20) straps anymore.

[@jjswitch887]

Aren't these cheap Hadley roma straps made in the USA?

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Thanks for uploading this! I love this video. There are so many tools and machines that I want from this video lol! I make watch straps but I have to do everything by hand, very labour intensive but I love it :D Thanks for sharing :D :D :D

[@purplepineapple117]

I ordered one I like and it said white stitching but it looked like gold stitching :(

[@StrageSrebreniy]

Оличные ремни! У меня есть парочка. 🚩👍👋

[@1959Berre]

Hand stitching in French is "coudre à la main", hand stiched is "cousu à la main"

[@androidpurchaseslogin7132]

Made In the USA... with all Asian workers? What? The people working on the straps did not match the people in the end shot.

[@hyssean12]

That "genuine" leather won't last more than a year or so. Genuine leather is a split piece of leather and has no grain structure therefore no strength.

[@JayzBeerz]

Look cheaply made. Colareb is way better leather.

[@macdee6040]

Hence why Colareb cost more....

[@hyssean12]

Anything that says "genuine" leather is cheap as hell. No actual leather craftsman would use that shit.

[@dyak]

На станках и дурак сделает. Вы попробуйте ручками своими подобное повторить.

[@StrageSrebreniy]

... ну, если продавать один ремень в год, тогда, - да, ручками. А если больше, то всё равно вам понадобятся нож, иглы, нити и прочия средства производства. 😉
