True craftsmanship thrives on community and shared vision. We believe that when local brands collaborate, culture wins.
At Waktu Horology, our mission has always been to push boundaries and discover meaningful ways to honour Nusantara heritage within modern horology. Following our cherished creative work with leather artisan Shu Yi and artist Aries, we are thrilled to expand that horizon by partnering with one of Singapore’s strap specialists, NOMAD Watch Works.
True luxury lies in the art of storytelling, and with this latest collaboration, we wanted to weave that story directly into the very fabric on your wrist.
Crafting a Living Canvas: The Bespoke Brown Batik Strap
Batik has long stood as a beloved textile across the Nusantara, a living canvas of identity, resilience, and timeless beauty.
To bring this vision to life, we sourced authentic batik fabric right from the historic heart of Singapore’s Arab Street. Together with NOMAD Watch Works, that raw, texture-rich fabric was transformed into a bespoke brown batik watch strap crafted to bring a fresh, grounding presence to fine mechanical timepieces.
