What started as a small hobby quickly became something more. People weren’t just buying a strap—they were connecting with the soul of something truly handmade. The vision soon clarified: create vintage-inspired, high-quality bands that elevate any watch.

That journey really began after I bought a beautiful strap from a well-regarded company—flawless, precise… and a little too perfect. It lacked the character I was hoping for—the subtle, human imperfections that give a piece its soul. So I started making my own. Those first few were rough, but they carried exactly what I had been searching for: honesty, intention, and the unmistakable warmth of something shaped by hand. And while my craft has improved, that spirit remains at the heart of every strap I make.

I work exclusively with premium leathers from respected tanneries, chosen for their durability, character, and the way they age gracefully. Each strap is hand-stitched using traditional techniques, giving it that lived-in authenticity you’ll never find in mass-produced bands. Slight variations, natural textures, and small marks aren’t flaws—they’re proof of the craft.

Dial & Hide is still small. Still personal. Still rooted in the belief that slow-made is better-made.
