Personalised Watch Straps: The Christmas Gift Collectors Didn’t Know They Needed
Why Personalisation Belongs Under the Tree
Every December, the search begins. What do you buy for the man who has everything, or the collector who already owns a Submariner, a Speedmaster, or even a MoonSwatch? The answer is not another bottle, book, or novelty gadget. It is something small, crafted, and personal: a watch strap stamped with his initials.
A personalised strap takes an accessory he already uses every day and turns it into a thoughtful, meaningful gift. Whether blind embossed for subtlety or finished in gold foil for statement, it is a detail he will notice every time he fastens his watch.
A Gift That Feels Personal

Leather has always been tied to luxury. When it is pressed by hand with his initials, it becomes something else entirely — a piece made for him. Unlike mass-market gifts, a monogrammed strap carries intent. It says you thought about him, not just the occasion.
- For milestone moments: A 30th, 40th or 50th birthday that happens to fall around Christmas.
- For anniversaries: A gift that reflects years shared together.
- For collectors: The man who already has every model, but not this personal detail.
More Than Leather and Steel
At MGBWatches, our personalised straps begin in Tuscany, where hides are cut and stitched by artisans. The final step happens in our atelier, here in the UK. That is where your chosen letters are pressed into the grain, one by one, with heat and pressure. No two impressions are ever identical. Each carries the human touch that machines cannot replicate.
Choose from:
- Blind embossing for a subtle impression.
- Gold foil embossing for a bold, celebratory finish.
- Silver foil embossing for cool, modern refinement.
- Engraved buckles for a discreet, durable mark.

The Perfect Christmas Gift for Him

Each strap arrives in presentation packaging, ready to gift. Order early to guarantee Christmas delivery, and give him a detail that will outlast the day itself.
