Most comfortable clasp money can buy!

Accessory Sunday! I recently got this clasp in stock made by Formex for their watches, but it doesn't have to be used on just Formex watches. Take a look and see if this is the best deployant clasp you can buy!

Thank you for watching.

[@vmm4858]

Some "big brands" could learn something here. I always thought it couldn't be that difficult, here is the proof it is not. Excellent product. Thanks for sharing.

[@robertotorres3969]

I'd absolutely get an unbranded version of this in 18mm and 20mm. No doubt about it

[@islandwatch]

Thanks.

[@mtbiker731]

What he said. Would love to ditch the few butterflies I have. For $85 each...no sweat on value there. However, they'd need to be unbranded.

[@RobertCooper-bu2mu]

And 22 mm.

[@matrixmirage2148]

@@islandwatch Hi Marc! How about the Oris rubber strap and clasp? I think it's brilliant and really comfortable

[@chriswhite9912]

Or perhaps a laser engraving service to add the brand of choice/logo and quick release nub to ease changing

[@bojannikolow1462]

Thank you for this video. A few months ago I looked at it and ordered the clasp directly from Formex. I put it on Tudor Pelagos' original rubber band and I'm impressed. The micro adjustment works excellent and is very comfortable to wear.

[@jameswilkes3186]

Ingenious. I like that you are as excited to share different products as we are to see them.

[@islandwatch]

Absolutely

[@drwindsurf]

That is such a cool clasp. Thank you for sharing Marc 😊👍

[@islandwatch]

Thanks for watching

[@cavsoldier1988]

Absolutely love it...I am going to buy one ASAP!!!! Unbranded I would buy one in each size!

[@ericleese4692]

Definitely interested in the different versions. Thank you for showcasing this.

[@islandwatch]

Thanks

[@Reaching117]

Yeah, I'd definitely be interested in one of these. I've been thinking about buying one of the ones you have already for a watch I have on a sail cloth strap. I don't know about anyone else, though, but I personally think I'd rather see it just in stainless steel at a cheaper price than all the super lightweight materials.

[@islandwatch]

Thank you for checking them out.

[@danc2700]

One of these clasps in steel(so it would be cheaper) and in some othe sizes would be so cool!

[@islandwatch]

Thank you

[@NiroshanGunaratne]

Genius mate! Love it.

[@islandwatch]

Glad you like it!

[@woodyjag4084]

Yes please Marc, I’m definitely interested in 20mm and a 22mm ....another great video ... thank you

[@islandwatch]

Thanks!

[@tynchytemper9618]

Everyone looks at me like a tool when I say 'deployant' (including spellchecker)!

[@islandwatch]

Yup. Just know you're right.

[@tomasinacovell4293]

Sometimes they say to me "Tish... That's French!". :)

[@richardbaptist5080]

Yes please!!I would love this in 18mm and 20mm. Good deployant clasps are hard to find. Also the micro adjustment is the icing on the cake. Amazing! Any plans for a 22mm version?

[@waynejohnson3214]

Terrific idea, and one that I've been waiting on. I'll be a buyer when they're made for 18mm ends.

[@tomthompson7400]

thats clever , so neat and tidy too.

[@nrs6956]

Clever idea. Thank you.

[@islandwatch]

Yup, thanks.

[@discingaround]

Unbranded in 18,20,22&24 would be fantastic. Even branded in those sizes would be pretty nice, I really like this clasp and the way it works. Well thought out.

[@islandwatch]

Thx

[@watchyoutech6139]

I purchased ones from you and love it. The fact that it's so light and has the micro adjustments makes it practically perfect. It would be great if you did get some unbranded and in all black.

[@islandwatch]

Thanks so much!

[@bradcover39]

terrific demo - just bought one from you!

[@opensage01]

Wow, wow wow!!!! I was going to contact you before and say you should start deployant clasps that can take 4mm thick straps. It is very hard to find. I like that it is carbon fiber because I am allergic to stainless steel and even 316L in the summer. So the carbon fiber is perfect and with the micro adjust.... Oh man this is so awesome. Need to make it in all sizes and rose gold, gold, pvd black haha. Keep the signature, it doesn't matter, because they will be the top dog of deployant clasps, and that will be the new status name hahaha. Thank you so much for showing this and I will be checking how many 20mm I own and get them from you. Thanks again Marc and cheers.

[@KiloIndia]

What size would I need for the orient triton and the hirsch strap from that past video?

[@japudjuha]

Definitely interested in a 22 mm size, much like one of the other comments in steel possibly if it would be a little bit cheaper. Awesome item though thanks for the video!

[@Masterpiece4590]

YES! This has so much value

[@islandwatch]

True

[@balesjo]

Really like that clasp!

[@Silver-st2zq]

Looks real good and the quality is up there 👍

[@islandwatch]

Thanks 👍

[@kjeldpedersen666]

This is truly brilliant. So please make one in 18mm, I would buy it instantly😊

[@islandwatch]

Ok, thanks.

[@comanche260]

Did you produced this unbranded and in different sizes? I need 3!!! Awesome clasp!!!!

[@WatchingCasio]

Are there any other clasps that have micro adjustments?

[@johnturnerjr7221]

Marc, do this! That Formex clasp is not only cool but functional as well.

[@rogeliogarcia-cavazos3715]

This is fantastic! My wrist always seems to be between sizes on buckled straps and this would be the solution to my sizing issues. I went to buy one but it is out of stock. Will get one as soon as you restock. And I would for sure get non-branded versions in 18 and 22 mm.

[@islandwatch]

Thanks much!

[@tonkaty]

$85 is actually pretty insane value for what it is and the engineering and multi-process manufacturing that goes into making something like that. As others have said would definitely buy an unbranded 18mm version, especially if they had polished and brushed buckle options.

[@islandwatch]

Thanks for checking it out.

[@davidbaird1898]

I’ve never paid much attention to clasps because I have bracelets on my Omegas, with backup Omega leather straps, and all my other watches are on NATO straps. It was really interesting to learn about these clasps.

[@islandwatch]

Thanks

[@osmoticaproductions5565]

This looks like the perfect upgrade for my 22mm Hirsh caoutchouc band which is a tad too short for my 8.5" wrist. Will order as soon as I see it on the website!

[@islandwatch]

Cool!

[@sm25550]

I have a Montblanc Timewalker GMT Chronograph with a clasp like that. Very nice.

[@stark_syndrome7857]

Would definitely purchase that and would love to see them in the 3 sizes

[@islandwatch]

Thanks.

[@BetamaxBabe]

Absolutely yes to a non-branded, 18mm Formex clasp! Been thinking of a new leather strap for my Alpinist and possibly my Oceanus. I'd love to add a Formex clasp to it!

[@islandwatch]

Thank you.

[@Trex100]

Really neat contraption. Does it add a lot of thickness to the bottom of the strap? I love the idea of a deployant with the possibility of small adjustments. I think they will sell well.

[@islandwatch]

No, it's tucked away nicely.

[@BLACKWOLF-1911]

Can you replace a regular spring bar with quick release pins?

[@andrewhannam.]

Very interesting design!

[@islandwatch]

Indeed, thanks.

[@choond]

Nice! you got a version without the branding now.

[@Jayteeef]

Definitely would get an unbranded 20/18mm version, likely a couple of them!!

[@whamajamma75]

Hi sir. I would definitely end up using the 20 and 22mm clasp if you got those in stock.

[@ArianrhodTalon]

I have straps that taper down to 16mm. Any possibility that these will be available?

[@1urbanbaker]

Could you recommend a deployant clasp for a 22mm Hirsch Aryton strap? Thanks!

[@steveottavaino3804]

Nice product, great review. Is it available in black DLC finish? Application for an Oris Pro Pilot Air Racing limited edition triple black I’d like to put on a Horween Shell Cordovan black strap. Thanks. Ciao.

[@islandwatch]

They make one for the Leggera which is black (carbon)

[@nigelholderby259]

I’d definitely be interested in an unbranded version of this!

[@islandwatch]

Great, thanks.

[@CFCseventy]

Hi mark do they work on a steel bracelet

[@mikep5478]

Thanks for the review Marc. I have one on my Essence and will probably buy another one in black titanium for $85.00. Unlike anything I have for straps. I'm basically a bracelet guy, but this clasp not only wears well, but saves wear and tear getting the straps on and off.

[@islandwatch]

Thank you. Sounds great!

[@kristianlewis5520]

Hi marc do you sell case backs? An exhibition case back for a watch with a solid case back or a vice versa? Great vid as always 👍

[@islandwatch]

No, sorry

[@MahmoudElazazy]

What do you recommend for MTG B3000 Clasp conversion?

[@erniebecquer7835]

Did the no branded version ever make it to market?

[@adrianmorris3772]

Very well made piece of kit. Hope you sell plenty. Best regards 😆😺

[@islandwatch]

Already have. Lol. Thanks!

[@mightbesherwood1313]

The best adjustment I've seen is on the Oris Aquis rubber strap. Similar concept, but the pushers and track are more exposed. Sadly, it's only on the Aquis 43mm and not the 39 - argh!

[@jimbojet8728]

Will that clasp fit my panerai alligator strap? If it does , I’ll have one please.

[@dustytriumph]

very cool bit of tech

[@islandwatch]

Yup

[@meirw]

Looks awesome. Count me in for a 20/18mm!

[@islandwatch]

You're in!

[@PepeDeezNutz]

Yes please!

[@DanielM111]

I was hoping for a clasp that would get rid of the actual "clasp" part of a watchband when I read "most comfortable" (since my hand is resting on top of it) but instead it's even more bulk added below the clasp...

[@praetor47]

omega, breitling and iirc oris and heuer style (all with plenty of cheaper aftermarket options) deployant clasps all have the "holes-end" of the strap under the actual clasp, and some of them (for example breitiling) are held by friction, so they don't even need holes

[@garyp432]

Very clever clasp

[@islandwatch]

Sure is.

[@puffymarshmellow3149]

100% would buy a couple of these, i almost got a formex just for the cool features

[@islandwatch]

Thank you

[@charalamposstasinakis2824]

Definately an 18mm and unbranded or reverse name for those that wear opposite side!! Great clasp, I have already two!!

[@islandwatch]

Awesome, thanks.

[@thomaslavigne711]

Mark yes awesome clasp love it please make 18,20,22mm with no branding home run!

[@islandwatch]

Ok!

[@marcustee6673]

Yes please do the unbranded ones. I would buy

[@Qm455]

Ooh, YES. 22mm for me please! I don't mind whether it's signed or not, and I'd be content with an all stainless brushed finish if the price came down to 40-50.

[@triode1212]

I definitely would buy the unbranded version but with a Titanium finish if it is available.

[@chiahuanlee]

Super cool. Ingenious. Can the extension piece be a point of failure? It looks kind of thin. But it is a really cool deployent clasp. Make it and I’ll buy it.

[@islandwatch]

I don't think so. Seems secure.

[@ndj12333]

Does it work on 22mm crafter blue

[@watchfan4]

Great Clasp.👍

[@islandwatch]

Thank you.

[@gonshocks]

I noticed on the pics on your site that the strap seems to make a sharp bend just behind the buckle, would that be trouble with a thick leather?

[@islandwatch]

Too thick just won't fit. I'd say what I used was about as thick as it will go.

[@joseph_432]

Will these be back in stock?

[@korbendallas2198]

Yes would purchase non-branded and 18mm

[@moogish]

Is there an advantage to using deployant buckles on straps. Does it allow a new stiff strap to conform to wrist better? Anyone with experience with this please help with my decision making. Just received a 3D print of RGM’s 151-COE corps of Engineers.

[@normshifferd9728]

I would like to purchase one of these clasp, unnamed. If you get them please let me know, thanks much.

[@dude93able]

Hey Marc, I put a velcro strap on my recently purchased 38mm Islander. As nice as the bracelet is, the velcro is going to stay on for most of the time. You should look into those. The good ones are pricey, but it's the most comfortable I've worn. I do expect that adjustable deployant with a good leather strap will top it so when you get a size that'll work for me, I'll be on it.

[@islandwatch]

Okay, I will. Thanks.

[@mohammadzaman8713]

OMFG FORMEX PLEASE MAKE THIS IN OTHER SIZES THIS IS INCREDIBLE

[@islandwatch]

Ok!!!!!

[@triviace]

Yes it is always true,the really cool stuff is out of my budget.What about carbon clasp too?

[@islandwatch]

I might bring that in too.

[@warusk2nd]

I'd rock it with the brand logo too, but more size options would be killer!

[@islandwatch]

Thanks!

[@tezzanewton]

What is that watch you put it on?

[@danielpinsky3812]

WOW...unbranded, I would jump on this

[@islandwatch]

Great!

[@IanMacLeansnv]

I'd like it in gold, but can you lose the tongue if you want to? The whole pleasure in a deployant clasp to me is not having to deal with a tongue. And I like seeing the clasp if the metal coordinates with the watch.

[@datafoxy]

I am very interested in it branded or not sadly they are 98 now.

[@TheSonofaMike]

I would certainly but the Formex clasp at 18mm!!

[@KakashiHatake-ou7mp]

You'll be continuing the Islander and You watch your way both?

[@islandwatch]

Yes

[@jamespalsson746]

So innovative

[@islandwatch]

Yes

[@jamiesavery1973]

Yes id buy a 18mm unbranded one would you ship to uk if you get them?

[@islandwatch]

Yes

[@Reaching117]

Will we get to see Islander watches on your watch your way anytime soon?

[@islandwatch]

Eventually

[@johnnyj.817]

didn't buy the deployant clasp from you because my strap is about 4.5mm thick. A Hadley-roma kinda fitted it (still too small space where you mentioned), but after a week I notice that when you fold the clasp the inside sharp edges cuts into the inside surface of my leather. This looks pretty rounded on the hinges.

[@islandwatch]

It's quite smooth

[@Matthew-wn8oq]

I would definitely buy one in brushed , non branded and 22mm . I would buy two actually.

[@MrPINKFL0YD]

The carbon one is amazing

[@islandwatch]

I'll get those too.

[@matthewdavis8199]

Incorporates what appears to be a pin buckle. Unlike traditional deployants, will that cause the strap to be marred?

[@islandwatch]

As long as you have flexibility in the tail, no.

[@MrRainman2020]

Wait a minute. I want to know more about the flightmaster Seiko 5 bracelet. How exactly did you make 22mm that fit? No that would be a great video.

[@islandwatch]

Ground it down with a Dremel

[@nealewalter]

Would ABSOLUTELY buy this in unbranded, 20mm and 22mm (maybe 24mm). I at first though that it looked nice - but then when you showed the microadjustment - you got me there.

[@salvelegio1425]

I like it very much. Would be nice to get without logo, yes!

[@ebshaw5974]

Brilliant is a great word for it.

[@islandwatch]

Yes!

[@Norsemann]

Cool product. Crazy price

[@islandwatch]

Lol. But worth it.

[@bryanlile3043]

Yes make it

[@collinarlo6141]

Did this get discontinued?

[@metallicarockacion]

can you use this on a silicone strap?

[@islandwatch]

Yes

[@idahoman325]

Sleek as snot , unbranded in 20 and 22mm for sures. ✅💥

[@slayerfan545]

Can you put this on a rubber strap
