Making perfect Watch strap with Hermes Alligator leather. 에르메스식 시계스트랩 만들기(TCIM엘리게이터)

Designed & Handcrafted by SANG BLEU
"Bespoke Alligator watch strap"
This artwork was a bespoke strap for my old watch.
Made out of Alligator mississippiensis leather from Hermes exotic leather tannery (HCP-TCIM).
This project was started from a recommendation by the comment from one of my subscribers, Thanks for the precious comment "Olejan"!😉🙏🏻
All of the leathers that are used and the way of making this luxurious leatherwork are the same as the French luxury leather brands.
Feel the quality :)

Hi i love your works! Its so beautiful and very high end detail. Just curious, what size do you use for iron pricking? Is 2.7 or 3?

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

Thanks a lot! Typically I use the #12 for watch straps which is not used often nowadays 😉

[@ahmedkadow666]

Sir, I am an admirer of your excellent work. May I suggest that you use the third part of the piece you made the cut from to add a leather bracelet to the watch strap. They would make a handsome set. Regards.

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

Thanks a lot for your interest in our artwork:) I guess what you've tried to describe was the additional layer of underneath part that covers the wrist from the case back. Yeah, maybe I'll try them as well in the future, thanks a lot ;)

[@jjswitch887]

Hey. Great work. Could I ask what temperature you use on the iron for the edge paint?

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

That's all depends on what kind of edge paint & machine is used. And, that's sort of the technical things and we do not provide technical things, sorry 🙏🏻

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

도움이 되셨다니 기분도 좋고, 너무너무 감사합니다💪🏻🙏🏻 이 영상에선 제가 좀 평소랑 다르게 보강재를 넓게 깎아서 굴곡이 안예쁜데, 아주 약간 더 넓고 완만한 모양으로 깎으시면 더 예쁘게 쉐잎이 나올겁니다;) 키링 영상 참고해주세요 거기선 더 예쁘게 깎습니다;)

[@nero8111]

this is finest work i ever seen on KZbin, two questions 🙏🏻 1. why adding a paper in the middle layer? 2. why need hot ironing after edge paint? smoother? thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

Many thanks🙏🏻 1. that's not a paper, that is the non-stretch reinforcement to prevent stretching of the straps. 2. sealing the edge, more secure adhesive performance, smoother surface of the edge.

[@tripcs3794]

This is great! Would you mind telling me the thickness of the strap materials and padding

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

Thank you for the comment, what I can tell you is the total thickness. Generally, I follow the buckle's allowing thickness as it is D-buckle(they have a limited thickness allowance). Mine was about 1.8T~2.0T And I tend not to exceed 2.0T because the bulky strap is not nice to touch and wraps around our wrist ;)

Beautiful work! Really something special! Can you please tell me where to find this wing divider to buy? Tnx all the best

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

Thanks a lot. I recommend Vergez Blanchard for the antique tools but if you want some modern tools, choose the stainless products to prevent rusty effect over time.

[@miljanpetrovic2347]

Thanks, really! Keep posting videos, you are truly inspiring, and you are motivating so many people with your work! All the best man @@AtelierSANGBLEU

[@lorrisl5026]

As a french leathercrafter, I wouldn't really recommend verges Blanchard anymore. They have some nice tools like "l'indispensable" but most of their tools are too expensive for what they are. When I got serious about leather crafting, I compared buying from them vs prime leather tools, and the difference in price was astonishing! I ended up buying from prime leather tools and I love everything that I've got for that price.

시간가는 줄 모르게봤습니다 :) 너무 마음에 들어 제작 문의를 하려고 찾아보니.. 스트랩은 제작의뢰를 안받으신다고 블로그에서 보았네요.. 혹시 스트랩전문으로 하는 다른 공방을 추천받을 수 있을까요..? 조심스레 질문드립니다!

영상속의 피할용 나이프는 커스텀 제작되었던 나이프라 시중에서 구하실 수 없으실겁니다:( 그런데, 어떤 도구여도 날 관리만 잘 되어있다면 충분히 피할 0t 까지 하실 수 있습니다, 블랑샤르 하이스강 페링 나이프도 손에 익으시면 좋고, 블랑샤르 페링나이프중 손잡이 없는 플랫한 나이프를 날 관리 잘하시며 사용하시면 그것 또한 좋습니다;) (하이스강은 일반 나이프보다 샤프닝이 조금은 덜 필요해서 좋고, 샤프닝만 자주 잘 해주신다면 일반 날물로도 결과물은 동일하게 하실 수 있으실겁니다)

[@krasenpetrov2805]

Great job!Where do you buy exotic leather for your projects?

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

Thank you for the comment ;) I've been contracting with the local distributor of the exotic tanneries in here. If you need to get the exotic leathers, you should find the local distributor like I did on your country. There have CITES issues when we need to import or export them by our selves, so I just recommend you to find one 😭

[@krasenpetrov2805]

@@AtelierSANGBLEU The problem is that in my country doesn't have any exotic leather distributors. That's I asked you about your supplier. If they can shipt abroad that will be possibility for me.

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

@@krasenpetrov2805 That's too bad... maybe if there have no distributors or representatives, you might contact the tanneries to ship them to you directly with the exporting CITIES but, you should know how to handle the import CITES documents on your country which is the hardest part🥲.

@@AtelierSANGBLEU great! I will be in touch!

[@maximnegara3875]

Not bad , but I wold reverse the middle piece you have scived with the face up in order to have a smoother surface of the croc leather that you are gluing on top.

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

Thanks a lot for your suggestion! Great idea! From time to time, I do that flipping for that reinforcements when the supple leathers were used as the reinforcements (such as Chèvre, and other supple calf articles) But, I tend not to flip the Barenia as it is pretty hard to push them down facing up (Barenia has the Veg tanned leather's hard characteristics) Even with that face-down method, we can achieve a smooth surface which is shown on the other video that I've uploaded 😉 You can check them out in this video below🤗 kzbin.info/www/bejne/omXCi2l5pLZsqdE
