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.

A true classic, the Chiara strap is handmade in Germany from high quality calfskin leather that is embossed with a realistic crocodile-grain pattern. This strap has a medium-gloss finish and a slim profile with moderate padding, making it a good choice for vintage or dress watches. The lining leather is water-repellent and hypoallergenic.
