About Chas In Time

Chas In Time began not as a business venture, but as a passion project rooted deep within the watch enthusiast community. As a dedicated collector and active member of various horological circles, Charles initially started making straps to solve his own problems: repurposing buckles and hardware to create the perfect fit for his personal collection.

What started as "scratching an own itch" soon evolved. Other enthusiasts, impressed by his craftsmanship and his ability to tackle challenges that mass-market brands ignore, began requesting custom solutions. Whether it’s an unusual lug width, a unique vintage fitting, or a specialized Bund strap, Charles specializes in the bespoke details that off-the-shelf options simply don't offer.

Even as the brand has grown, the philosophy remains the same: community first. For Charles, it has never been about scaling for profit, but about helping a friend or a fellow collector find the perfect strap. To this day, you can still find Charles active in watch communities (TGN Slack, Instagram), contributing articles and sharing his expertise with the same spirit that started it all.
