Made to order and finished by hand, every piece is designed to highlight the natural qualities of the leather while providing comfort, character, and lasting beauty on the wrist.
Why Choose an Buttero Watch Strap?
Buttero leather is valued for its smooth full-grain surface, firm structure, and natural character. Produced by the renowned Italian tannery Conceria Walpier, it is vegetable tanned and finished to preserve the distinctive qualities of the leather rather than hiding them beneath a heavily textured or embossed surface.
One of the defining characteristics of Buttero is the way it changes with use. Initially firm and relatively uniform, the surface gradually becomes smoother and more lustrous as it is worn. Over time, the leather develops a rich natural patina, with deeper tones and subtle variations that reflect the way each strap is used.
At Roiberd Atelier, each Buttero watch strap is crafted by hand and made to order in Spain. Its smooth surface requires careful handling throughout the cutting, stitching, and finishing process, allowing the clean character of the leather to remain at the centre of the design.
Buttero watch straps are particularly well suited to classic watches, everyday timepieces, and collectors who appreciate natural materials that evolve with use. For those who prefer a leather strap with a smooth appearance and a more pronounced sense of ageing, Buttero offers a character that becomes increasingly personal over time.
