The IWC|SANTONI collection includes a series of exquisite straps, hand-painted by Santoni and embellished with IWC's luxury timepieces, from Portofino to the iconic Portoghese: timeless icons of elegant design.

Santoni's sense of color and craftsmanship combine with technological innovation and the ancestral watchmaking art of IWC Schaffhausen.

Santoni handcraft the leather straps created exclusively for IWC Schaffhausen by hand in its ateliers. The straps are hand painted through the art of Patina, the famous technique handed down by master craftsmen and distinctive of Santoni's uniqueness. The colors are applied by hand, with a small woolen cloth and then a brush to define the details. The result is a unique masterpiece, a pictorial color rich in unrepeatable shades.

The IWC Schaffhausen watch collection is made up of several product families, each of which boasts individual design codes and a long tradition. Among the straps produced exclusively for IWC there is the alligator strap, designed and manufactured by Santoni for the Portofino Hand-Wound Eight Days, Portuguese Chronograph Classic, Portuguese Tourbillon Hand-Wound and Portuguese Mid Size models, from the women's collection. For more information on the collection, visit www.iwc.com
