Artem Straps PAM Style Strap, £114
Artem Straps are one of the most popular Australian watch strap brands on the international stage, specialising in sailcloth and fabric straps. Sailcloth is a type of tightly woven canvas developed to be weather resistant for use, as you might guess, in nautical settings. As such, it’s the perfect material with which to create dive watch straps as it can withstand submersion. These PAM Style straps are specially developed for Panerai watches, although they’ll technically work for any watch with a 24mm lug width. There are 14 colour and stitching options available.
Available at Artem.

Tawbury Grove Watch Box, $159 (approx. £130)
The Tawbury Grove has a rustic feel to its design thanks to the matte finish of its dark brown Kassod wood exterior. Kassod is a tree from southern Asia with a distinct textured grain giving the piece a tactile feel. The Grove also doubles up as a watch display case with its transparent lid allowing you to view the six watches stored inside, even while closed. Protecting the watches from scratches is the micro-suede lined interior and soft pillows.
Available at Tawbury.
Modalo Ambiente Watch Winder, £1,529
Watch winders serve multiple functions in a collection. Most apparent is the fact they keep your automatic watches ready to wear at all times, meaning you don’t have to constantly reset them, something that is particularly important for high complications and calendar watches. At the same time, they also serve as great display cases, especially ones that are as dynamic as the Modalo Ambiente, which can hold up to nine watches at the same time. Sleek and modern with wooden styling, it’s as much an object of style as the watches it contains.
Available at Modalo.
Jonesintokyo Kudu Leather Strap, £92
JonesinTokyo is the project of Douglas Jones, a designer from the UK who moved to Japan in 2007 and who began to produce watch straps in 2014. Inspired by the rich leatherworking heritage of both the UK and Japan, he sought out renowned Japanese artisans to learn from and to become an expert in his own right. Take this beautifully crafted Kudu leather strap. Kudu leather is naturally very strong and develops a patina over time, meaning it will age gracefully with you and the watch it’s strapped to.
Available at Jonesintokyo.
