Watch case bull leather

Hammann manufactures this opulent watch case especially for Manufactum from an exceptional and strong bull leather. (You can also find a weekender and two toilet bags made of the same beautiful leather in our range). The best bull hides of southern German and Austrian origin are used, which are vegetable-tanned and aniline-dyed in Italy. The pigments penetrate deep into the leather so that its natural surface remains visible and a beautiful patina can form over time. Lined with soft lambskin leather on the inside, the watch case stores your watches gently and safely in its three compartments with leather straps. A small zippered compartment provides space for receipts, the spring bar tool or replacement bracelets.

The “Fine leather goods factory” Franz Hammann based in Offenbach (one of the German centres of leather goods manufacturing) is one of the oldest leather manufacturers in Germany. The family-owned company has been producing high-quality leather goods and travel accessories for five generations. The Hessian leather goods are as sophisticated as they are durable; some models require the use of old special machines. Hammann has decades-old experience in leather crafts, especially in producing leather bags and cases complete with frames and handles. Precise workmanship and high-quality materials play an even more significant role here than in leather crafts anyway. To ensure the quality of its leather products, Hammann produces at its headquarters (and has done so since 1864) while processing exclusively full-grain leather of European origin. Locks and fittings are made in Germany. Here too, the details make the difference: all locks and fittings are milled from solid brass and alloy steel and get polished by hand. You might recognize the mirror-bright surfaces featuring a shine that “drum-polished sheet metal parts” could never give off.
