Located in Germany's Bavarian Forest, Fluco manufactures 100% in-house at its headquarters in the town of Furth im Wald. Owner Ulrich Fleischmann represents the third generation of his family to lead the company that his grandfather founded more than 70 years ago, producing handmade watch straps of the highest quality for men and women.

Fluco carefully vets every partner they collaborate with. They work only with tanneries that produce ecologically and ethically responsible leather, complying with the strictest regulations to ensure environmental safety and exercising verifiable control from the origin of the raw material to the end product. Fluco's buckles are made entirely in Germany, at a traditional company in Baden Württemberg that tasks itself with producing premium clasps for watch straps.

Fluco describes its Nizza strap as "cuddly," and we couldn't agree more. Handmade in Germany using calf leather from a German tannery, it is one of our softest, most comfortable straps, conforming to the wrist with ease. The open-pored characteristic of the leather enables high breathability and moisture regulation. The Nizza is extremely slim and supple (requiring virtually no break-in time), but retains excellent dimensional stability; durability is not a concern with this strap. Tone-on-tone stitching seams are double-stitched at the lug and buckle ends. The edges of each strap are painted, sanded and polished several times by hand. The leather lining is water resistant and hypoallergenic.

Some Nizza strap sizes 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.
