The London Lounge

Good Evening, I will be visiting Madrid and London in the next two weeks and would welcome advice on reputable bespoke watch strap makers in either city. I have previously purchased from ABP on previous trips to Europe, but sadly won't be able to manage a visit to Paris this time.

TIA

I'm pretty sure there is no bespoke service for watch straps based in Madrid. Perhaps there might be Piaget or similar swiss watchmakers who have a store in Madrid and might do the bespoke service from here, but I'm not sure.

Camille Fournet is the way to go, I believe that you can order on-line. DDM

Thanks Guille, I'm also planning to visit a few watch stores in Madrid. Can you direct me to a few of the best retailers of Swiss and German watches? How does Nuun rate?

Some of the best retailers are Joyería Suarez, Grossy and Joyerias Durán, the three of which have pretty much all the main luxury swiss watchmakers' products. You will find there adress in their respective webpages. I don't know about Nuun, and there might be other quality retailers - I'm not an expert in watches. Perhaps El Aristocrata knows more...

A part from those three mentioned by Guille I would advise you to pay a visit to Perodri, Wempe, Chocron, Martin and Iglesias Joyeros.
We have an independent watch maker, Pedro Izquierdo, and his machines are getting quite popular in Spain (he works with ETA movements but he does some altarations to it).
If you need any further asistance, please send me a private message and I think I can help you.
Watches are my first material love.
