Chas In Time two piece leather watch strap

What types of straps does Chas In Time sell?

They create two-piece leather straps, bund watch bands, and leather pass-through straps.


Width: Chas In Time owner Charles specializes in custom-made watch straps. In addition to a standard range of 14mm–24mm, he offers a custom service for those who need non-standard dimensions made to their exact specifications.

Material: Chas In Time works with world-class leathers, sourced from renowned tanneries held to the highest industry standards. Charles specializes in Horween and Kangaroo leathers, but he also offers a curated selection of premium materials, including Calfskin, Buttero, Pueblo, Chromexcel, and Shell Cordovan.

They offer the ability to custom engrave the leather with logos, artwork, pictures, names, and text.

Collections

Since they specialize in primary custom work, you won't find a standard "ready-to-buy" collection.

Instead, we suggest visiting their Instagram to view their portfolio of past projects and find inspiration for your own unique strap.

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.
