Client Note — D. Dornblüth & Sohn × Ostrich Serpentine

Our client shared this wrist photograph of his D. Dornblüth & Sohn on our Ostrich Serpentine strap, together with a short note:

“A very neutral look for the watch.”

It was lovely to see the finished pairing on his wrist. The soft grey feels understated against the warm dial, and his words capture the combination so well.

A Note on the Pairing

For this strap, the colour and texture work quietly together.

The muted grey keeps the overall look gentle, while the natural markings of the ostrich leather add a little character. Tone-on-tone stitching blends into the leather, giving the edges a discreet finish.

We particularly like how it looks beside the textured knit sleeve in our client’s photograph. It gives us a glimpse of the strap as part of an everyday outfit—something we always enjoy seeing after a piece leaves our workbench.

Material Note — Ostrich Serpentine

Serpentine is a soft grey in our ostrich collection, an understated colour with room to appreciate the leather’s natural texture.

The fine grain and characteristic quill marks vary from one piece to another. Their placement gives each strap its own appearance, making the selection and cutting of the leather part of the finished design.

Here, the matching stitching keeps those natural details at the centre. A simple combination, and a lovely example of how a neutral colour can still have character.

Thank you to our client for sharing his photograph and feedback with us.
