    Hey Folks,

    As watch collector, I wanted something beautifull and protective to store my watches.

    I looked for natural, "brut" leather pouches, for one watch each. :thumbsup:

    I didn't found what I was looking for on internet, or they were too expensive ...::screwloose::

    I moved on and decided to buy some great numbuck "moutarde" leather ...

    A few days later ... Here is the result ;) 100% Homemade

    The most difficult part was the cutting of the leather for the top.

    What do you think about them ?

    Please let me know your thoughts !

    Florent

    These look great, do you have photos earlier iterations? I didn't even see the watch there, my eyes must like these a lot...

    Beautifully made sir! Did you use a template? Wonderful stitching also. Any tips on doing this would be most welcome.
    The craftsmanship that is constantly on display here on OF is a real treat in a mass produced world.
