In the last few years, Horween has become a common word used in the world of watches. Sometimes mistaken as just a type of leather, Horween is in fact a tannery that is over 100 years old. Though popular in footwear, luggage, sporting goods, etc for sometime, only recently have they become a common choice for watch strap brands. A choice made given the desirability of their leather, the selection they offer and the sheer sumptuous quality of the product. It?s pretty rare for a manufacturer of a material to gain such recognizability that brands call out its use. Other than movements, it?s not often in watches that a brand lists a supplier as a feature.
