In collaboration with an Italian wine producer, the watchmaker is now equipping all watches in the Mondaine SBB Classic range with grape leather straps.
This valuable composite material is a perfect example of the concept of upcycling, without increasing the price.
For those who are looking for alternatives to animal leather for watch straps, this material makes sense in terms of properties, quality and elegance. The winegrowing partner obtains an alternative to animal leather from vineyard waste. Everything that is not used in wine, namely the pomace, a residue consisting of grape stalks, pips and skins, is thus recovered for the production of grape leather.
This particularly smooth and refined composite material is ideal for the production of watch straps. In addition, Mondaine uses water-based pigments to colour the material.
