Leather is a natural material that develops a patina over time. Nevertheless, it is necessary to take certain precautions when using it. Damp environments are not recommended. Indeed, the shape and colour of your leather strap may change as a result of contact with water. We therefore advise you to remove your watch when washing your hands or taking a shower. The care of your leather strap varies according to its type of leather. There is a significant difference between aniline leather and other leathers. Aniline leather is open and allows water to penetrate freely into the leather. The use of water for cleaning should therefore be avoided in order to avoid stains. Leather straps with smooth grains can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. Once this part of the cleaning process has been completed, we recommend using a leather spray or leather milk so that a closed protective film is built up on the strap. This film will protect your bracelet from dirt, moisture and sunlight. Once this application has been made, wipe your bracelet with a soft cloth to polish it.

Nubuck leather does not require the same care as smooth leather. This type of leather is more porous and will mark more easily when in direct contact with certain products. We therefore recommend that you gently brush your bracelet in order to release the fibre and thus release the dust. Afterwards, you can wipe your bracelet with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Once the leather is dry, you can brush your bracelet one last time in the desired direction. Leather and nubuck leather straps should not be dried near a radiator or any other heat source.
