Handmade Watch Straps for Watches Worth Wearing
Small-batch handmade watch straps for collectors, enthusiasts, and everyday watch owners.
Our Story
TTS Atelier grew out of Tommy’s Time Shop, a watch business built around helping collectors and everyday watch owners find pieces they enjoy wearing.
Tommy’s Time Shop started up in 2024, with a curiosity to find and offer fine vintage to new watches to collectors and purveyors of horology.
Next, after some curiosity and a few customer interactions about straps we acquired, which ended up inferior: Tommy took it upon himself to research the opportunity to look into making better quality watch straps. Also to interact with the customer on what they needed exactly. The color, the width and length.
That customer-first approach became the foundation of TTS Atelier: better materials, better fit, and a more personal buying experience.

Handcrafted - Small Batches Not Mass Produced
Every strap that has been sold by us, and made from us, is not a mass produced effort, stamped by presses, made in volume, to keep a larger company’s bottom line satisfied.
Ours are made by Tommy, who works with each and every customer. Every strap we sell is made with attention to the customer’s requested width, length, color, and fit. I don’t use industrial machinery, just an arbor press with stamps and punches, a skiving tool, knives, glues and dye markers for our MontreHue Series. I would be happy at the end of the day, if I made 2-4 Great handcrafted watch straps instead of 100 straps that lack soul.
I only use quality materials from trusted, reputable sources and I ensure that the watch strap that you purchase, will be the best quality strap that you can buy for your wrist for the money. I appreciate hearing from my customers, good and bad, all in effort to make TTS Atelier a premier watch strap maker.
Why The Strap Matters

Custom fit for your watch and your wrist
A great fitting watch strap makes all of the difference:
We provide a truly custom bespoke watch strap. We would need to understand your needs in the following –
Lug width – so the strap would fit on the watch.
Typical lug case or maybe a center notched case – We can make straps that fit notches and fixed lugs, and let you know how to install them as well.
Strap width – So you get that custom fit that provides a PERFECT strap fitting.
