Australian watchmaker brand Jack + Bell has announced the release of its second collection designed in collaboration with watch band curator Eustache Dauger.
Eustache Dauger (aka the 'Man In The Iron Mask') is reportedly the alias for a former employee of Hermes, who now consults to luxury fashion houses.
"[My] first novely collection of repurposed Hermes of Paris silk watch straps sold out in days to vintage watch collectors around the world.
"I'm now really excited to partner with Jack + Bell for a one-off range of hand crafted leather straps."
The new collection will retail between $365 and $415 with the collection featuring six co-designed bands sized for both men and women.
Jack + Bell co-founder Pete Kennon said the collection was developed with quality and design as a focus point of its development.
“Collection E.D expresses our commitment to design excellence as we seek to collaborate with likeminded highly skilled craftsmen.
“The limited-edition range speaks for itself in quality, design and price point, and we now look forward to sharing this with a wider audience.”
