Shinki Hikaku Shell Cordovan Watch Straps

Established in 1951, Shinki Hikaku is the only tannery in the world that is exclusively dedicated to horsehide. Oiled Cordovan production takes ten months from the start of the raw hides to tanning and finishing. With only two irregular ovals produced per horsehide, it requires highly skilled craftsmen whom have deep expertise and meticulous attention to the small details. Together with years of research and perfecting technological development, they are able to produce these high quality shells with a unique texture and characteristic shine.
