So whenever getting a bespoke strap made by any of the strap makers as Camille Fournet or the OEM Jean Rousseau the answer to the request for quick release springbars is always no because they don’t have them, and when Rousseau makes the OEM straps (or you order through an FPJ boutique) they are sup
Thank You so much. It is highly appreciated! Could you please tell us about the tool used for curving the springbars? Thank you Cordially Christian
Needs some extra hand bending as well as the tool cannot curve enough. Just be careful not to kink the tube and check the plungers are free to move.
They are the producer of Patek straps
Camille Fournet are a company I use regularly for my customers bespoke straps, and they’re making my own FPJ strap right now, and they told me they’re not able to supply them. They do supply standard straight QR springbars but not curved.
Thanks very much for this very useful information, much appreciated! A question, however: do you know of anyone who supplies these springbars in precious metals? I ask as I understand that you should match the springbar material with the case material, so as to prevent damage to the springbar holes in the watch lugs (which I understand might happen if you use steel sprinbars on a gold watch). Hence Patek provide PM springbars for their PM watches. Or is the risk an overstated one? In this regard
JR does provide curved spring bar but they claim that they are not able to curve the spring bar the way Journe's does so it doesn't fit quite correctly on Journe's watches. That's what they told me when I was in their NYC store.
