Headquartered in Klagenfurt, Austria, Hirsch was established in 1765 as a leather workshop and tannery. It remains a family-owned business to this day, and continues to gain recognition for excellence and innovation in watch strap design. Hirsch's popular Performance collection of classic leather and animal-free materials combined with premium caoutchouc rubber is a multiple award winner.

The Arne Performance strap is constructed using an innovative high-tech yarn made from SEAQUAL marine plastic that sets completely new standards in terms of recycling. The global SEAQUAL Initiative is committed to cleaning up our oceans, beaches, rivers and estuaries. The organization works closely with waste management and recycling industries to transform marine litter into SEAQUAL marine plastic. From this seemingly useless waste, certified manufacturers produce SEAQUAL yarn, which is unparalleled in terms of sustainability and low resource consumption.

Durable, resilient Arne is 100% vegan, scratch resistant, water resistant, moisture regulating and quick drying. Arne's thick black natural caoutchouc rubber lining is hypoallergenic and resistant to external influences such as UV light and chemicals, and its superior groove structure ensures constant ventilation on the wrist.

All of our Hirsch straps are integrated with handy quick-release spring bars. Prefer standard spring bars? Quick-release bars are easy to remove: simply slide the lever as far as you can to the left, then gently bend back the strap corner until the bar emerges from the slot.
