Why shortening a watch strap is a job for professionals
Shortening a watch strap seems simple, but it requires knowledge and experience. The clasp must remain central, the strap must be shortened symmetrically, and the original finish must not be damaged. Especially with more expensive or Swiss watches, a costly mistake can easily be made. That's why we have certified watchmakers shortening the strap, using professional tools and meticulous attention to detail.
