These   cartridge belts originate from the Swiss army stocks. The production dates   are stamped on the leather, as well as the saddler’s name and the production   village name. The ones I had been able to acquire had been produced from the   beginning of the 20th century till the 60’s.      
One of   this leather characteristics is to be very homogeneous, from the crust to the   grain.      Once it   has been worked and assembled in a strap, the leather gains suppleness.      
The   patina due to years of use reveals some nice surprises, which will highlight   your watch.      
The   choice of the marking and the date enables to bring an authenticity and a   distinctive nature to a watch that has itself an historical legacy.      
You can   see some examples in the gallery below.      
 
Every   detail is customisable, as: the thickness, the stitching, the shape...      
I invite   you to review the Configuration Form tool and to personalise your strap.      We can   discuss together the cartridge belt selection and the markings layout on your   strap.
