Faq	General	Do you sell replacement straps?	We offer replacement 20mm wide straps so you can have a clean, fresh start once you have worn your existing vegetable tanned band in. All of our current bands come with a simple pinch pin making it easy to swap and refresh. If your old strap has a traditional pin you will need to take your new strap and timepiece to your local jeweller or watch repairer to swap over the old for the new. It's an easy job and most jewellers will do this while you wait. Please note the 20mm Original strap is only compatible with the Original, Resin, D Series, Heritage, Chronograph and Stone watches. 18mm straps are now available on our website, these will fit on the Mini Original, Mini Resin, Mini Chronograph, The Minimal: 40mm
Faq	General	How can I care for my leather straps?	Our leather straps are made using Italian full grain, vegetable-tanned leather. No pigments are used to hide leather defects and in some cases, some scratches and marks will be visible on the leather as a result of the natural process – particularly the tan and vegetable tan leather bands. This is normal and not to be seen as a defect. Please note leather is a porous material so to preserve your strap we recommend avoiding coming into contact with water, moisture, oils, perfumes or cosmetics as this will significantly deteriorate the lifespan of the item. Avoid over-exposure to extreme heat or direct lighting.
Faq	General	Are the watches waterproof?	Most of our Time Teller styles are 5ATM, and The Classic is 3ATM which means exposure to high humidity and light rain showers is acceptable. Avoid wearing the watch whilst showering, swimming, diving or during any other activity where it may be subject to abnormal water pressures or environments where heat and moisture are present. Although because the watch has a leather strap – we wouldn’t recommend getting it wet at all, as that will significantly shorten the lifespan of the band.
Faq	General	Do you have any stockists that I can visit to try a Horse product on?	Yes! Please visit our Flagship Store at 89 Pittwater Rd, Manly, Sydney.
