IH12 Monk is a handmade American leather watch strap from the Iconic Heritage Series, built around clean lines, disciplined proportions, and timeless versatility.
Crafted from full-grain vegetable-tanned leather sourced from respected American tanneries, the IH12 Monk is designed for collectors who appreciate balance, restraint, and long-term wear. Its character is classic rather than decorative, allowing the watch case to remain the focus while adding depth, structure, and warmth on the wrist.
Each strap is made to order in the Thomas Artisan Straps workshop in Sitges, Spain. The leather is individually cut, shaped, stitched, and finished by hand, giving every piece its own natural variation in tone, grain, and surface character.
The IH12 Monk works especially well with vintage-inspired watches, dress watches, field watches, tool watches, pilot watches, and modern mechanical watches that benefit from a clean, well-proportioned leather strap.
