ABOUT TGM
MORE THAN A STRAP - PART OF THE TGM EXPERIENCE
TGM is a brand that goes beyond just making watch straps. We believe that a strap is not just an accessory, but a part of the experience of wearing a watch. Every strap we create is designed to enhance the character of your timepiece and reflect your personal style.
Our philosophy is simple: quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. We use only the finest materials, such as vegetable-tanned leather, to ensure that every strap not only looks beautiful but also ages gracefully over time.
At TGM, we are committed to creating products that are not only functional but also meaningful. Whether you are a watch enthusiast or a first-time buyer, we want you to feel the difference that a well-crafted strap can make.
MATERIAL - PUEBLO LEATHER - AN ITALIAN TANNING HERITAGE
Most budget leather straps on the market use chrome-tanned leather: chemically processed for speed, evenly coloured out of the box, but essentially static, the same colour, the same feel, no matter how long you wear it.The TGM Pueblo Leather strap is crafted from Badalassi Carlo Pueblo leather, Italy's renowned vegetable-tanned leather, cured with natural tannins extracted from tree bark rather than industrial chemicals.The result is a surface with genuine natural texture from day one, one that keeps evolving, deepening in colour and character with every year of wear.
Please note: Gift strap colors are selected at random and will be different from the strap included with your watch. Our team will make sure the colors complement your chosen watch model.

THE PATINA JOURNEY
A STRAP THAT EVOLVES WITH YOU
MONTH 0
The Beginning
A fresh, matte finish with a subtle grain. The leather is firm and uniform, ready to be shaped by your daily wear.
1-2 MONTHS
The Break-In
The leather softens and begins to conform to your wrist. Light creases appear where it bends, marking the start of its unique character.
6 MONTHS
The Patina Emerges
A rich, warm patina develops across the surface. The colour deepens and shifts, revealing the leather's natural depth and history.
1 YEAR+
A Story of Your Own
The strap is now unmistakably yours — a one-of-a-kind patina shaped by your life, your habits, and your time.
Why TGM Leather Is Different TGM LEATHER IS NOT MASS-PRODUCED
Very few mod workshops invest in genuine vegetable-tanned leather. Most of the market relies on industrial "vintage-look" leather to cut costs.
WHY TGM LEATHER STANDS APART
GENUINE VEGETABLE-TANNED LEATHER
No industrial chemicals; cured with natural tannins. Gentler on skin, kinder to the environment.
DEVELOPS A TRUE PATINA
Grows richer and glossier over time, an effect unique to real vegetable-tanned leather that cannot be faked.
NATURALLY PERSONALISED
No two straps age the same way; each mark is shaped by your own habits of wear.
TRACEABLE ORIGIN
Sourced from Badalassi Carlo, one of Italy's oldest tanneries, not unlabelled leather sold under a generic "handmade" tag.
