Sparkle Alligator - Atelier Kai
Atelier Kai probably has the craziest leathers available, including both glossy and matte sparkle alligator. I did a more "subdued" matte sparkle for my Bradley Taylor, and it looks freaking awesome. The boxy padding isn't so thick that it ruins the flexibility of the strap, and Kai did purple stitching to match the hands plus blue to match the dial on the back of the strap. His workmanship is excellent and I will be ordering again. Very, very happy. The only downside is the long wait, but he is up front about it and he delivered exactly the month he told me it would arrive. His communication is prompt too. Highly recommend him, I think he's now my favorite strap maker I have tried.

Unique and sharp combo. Nicely done m2.
The watch movement is wonderfully finished as I know you know. It's quite a feast for the eyes.
A lot to love here:

Yeah I think for the $12k or $14k I paid, it's crazy value. The dial is from Comblemine (voutilainen), and the movement by Fleurier/Parmigiani.
The color actually matches my company's color too!
Atelier KAI's biggest drawback is his claimed 5 months lead time
Did you really have to wait that long?
He has come a long way...
I went to his house to select the leather for a couple of straps several years ago. Nice and friendly guy, who is into watches too. Awesome watch you have there with a beautifully made strap.
That really is a stunning looking Bradley Taylor Lutria and your strap looks perfect for it.
The dial colour is one of the nicest blues I have seen and the texture of it really makes it look even more interesting. You can't beat a good custom made strap but a 5 month wait and 20% import cost would put me off buying from him. But I do appreciate h...
