Hi strap lovers, I want to share a few photos from my friend and sometime collaborator Dr. Ingo Woesner of FineWatchBuckles.com<\/a>. \u00a0This is a Dirty Denim strap that I made a few months back for his IWC Big Pilot paired up with an astonishing custom, handmade buckle made from black Water Buffalo horn. \u00a0I’m a huge fan of Ingo’s work and from these photos, you can see why. \u00a0The artistry and attention to detail on the finish of these buckles are second to none. \u00a0He primarily makes buckles from Exotic woods, horns from various animals, and my personal favorite fossilized Mammoth Ivory and a smattering of wild-looking Acrylics and other advanced materials as well. \u00a0Some of the exotic woods his uses have been stabilized with polymers and are safe for swimming, diving, and even dishwasher-safe! \u00a0If you’re into custom watch straps (you’re here so I suspect you are), I strongly encourage you to check out more of Ingo’s work at his website linked above. \u00a0I think you’ll be astonished by how he can raise a watch buckle to a high art form. \u00a0I’m also pleased to say that I usually have a small selection of his buckles on hand to sell directly for shipment with your Dangerous9<\/span><\/span><\/b> strap.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>

Also, a word about the custom tangs Ingo uses on his buckles are made by the master buckle and strap maker Maddog for which Ingo often does additional finishing work as well. \u00a0He offers these tangs made from Stainless Steel, Brass, Bronze, Damascus, and Mokume Gane<\/a>. \u00a0These in incredible little pieces of art as well. \u00a0Here is a brief explanation of the finishing work Ingo does for these:
\n“Isn’t the bronze tang really great? They came out of the water cutting almost like this. I placed them in my new tumble vibration box for 24 hours and achieved a total matte finish while eliminating the knife’s sharp edges from the water cutting. Very noble appearance IMHO.”<\/i><\/span>
\nIt’s this kind of passion and attention to detail that goes into every buckle from the FineWatchBuckles workshop and why I’m such a fan.<\/span><\/p>\n
