Watch straps - quality for over 100 years
Hug Uhrband AG is a Swiss family business that has been active in the watch industry for many years and has extensive experience. The company has its roots in the early 20th century. Zurich was formerly known for the production of leather products under the name "Leder Locher". The business later became known as "Wohlmann Uhrbänder". In 2007, the company was acquired by Gino Hug and thus received the new name Gino Hug Uhrenband AG.
Manuel Hug joined the company, and since then, the company name has been slightly adjusted, so it is now called Hug Uhrband AG. In 2015, due to lack of space, a move took place from Rennweg to Gutstrasse in Zurich. Since 2017, Severin Hug has also been active in the family business. In 2021, Manuel and Severin Hug took over the management of Hug Uhrband AG from their father Gino Hug. They have learned a lot and gained the necessary experience in recent years to successfully continue the company. Speed and flexibility are still among the core strengths of the family business, which employs six people at its Zurich location.
Handmade watch straps made of high-quality leather
The company has made it its mission to offer watch straps in various designs and sizes. They attach great importance to quality and therefore only offer watch straps that are handmade. The respective producers are carefully selected and only work with certified leather.
Handmade leather straps from Germany and Italy
Leather is a soft, warm, and supple natural product that can be subject to variations in color and structure during manufacturing. The leather straps are handmade in Germany and Italy. Hug Uhrband AG works with suppliers who produce watch straps with a tradition of perfection. Their extensive experience in their field positively affects the quality of the watch straps. The watch straps are made of the finest leather and promise comfortable wear. The materials used are subject to strict quality controls. The leather straps are handmade, making each watch strap unique.
All reptile leather watch straps are officially certified and must comply with the provisions of CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora). This means that the trade in endangered species of animals and plants is internationally regulated, and the Washington Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora is also taken into account.
Unique straps made of soft materials
Plastic straps made of various soft materials, such as silicone and rubber, offer pleasant wearing comfort and are perfect for active people. The straps are available in different colors and widths and also look good on an elegant watch. For example, the Rimini watch strap made of calfskin with a beautiful alligator embossing, which has a rubber lining. Plastic straps are also very suitable for smartwatches.
The right color for your personality
Colors are interesting and fascinating. Many well-known personalities, from painters to physicists like Isaac Newton, chemists, and mathematicians, have already dealt with the topic of colors. Even the famous writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe dedicated an entire book to the theory of colors, in which he examined not only the physical decomposition and mixing of colors but also the sensory and emotional effect of colors. Goethe's observations and methods are considered the beginning of modern color psychology. The choice of watches with different colored straps is a decision influenced by various factors - one of them is color. Because colors have the power to influence our feelings and directly affect our "soul".
Hug Uhrband has a large selection of different color shades, because the watch strap is increasingly used as an accessory. People like to dress individually, and the appropriate watch strap in the corresponding color is very important for this. The color of the watch strap can emphasize your personality.
