ABP Atelier du Bracelet Parisien

I simply love ABP. This I mean being a regular customer, from New York City, for nearly a decade and a half (15) years. The staff are kind, engaging and expert at accessories for watches (bands of exotic skins etc). I had the pleasure of meeting the entire Perrin family upon my first few years of visits. What an amazing family in kindness first and foremost and in the quality of the products they sell. I have recently (3yrs) met Gregorie the retail shop manager and he is a fine gentleman of gray taste and style. Just this year alone,
having had two visits to Paris, I had Greg and the other design staff develop some 7 exotic skin bands for my Panerai. The skins were well diverse to include Pangolin, American Alligator, Toad, Ostrich leg and my favorite Stingray. The straps are great for my taste the diversity of skins and highest quality customer service is why I keep coming back to shop here.

This shop is an example of amazing French artisan Craftsmanship. The staff is extremely friendly, patient and helpful.
In July 2014, I bought 5 bands for my vintage watch. They ranged from alligator, exotic toad, lizard and stingray.
I spent approximately 5 hours choosing the swatch of skin for each band and the exact cut I wanted for the watch band.
Gregory is the shop manager. He helped make sure my order was all set before we left and the bands were shipped home to NYC on time and as requested.
I am returning tomorrow to have a belt made. I have not decided the color or skin, I will see what strikes me.
Amazing little known secret hidden in the city of lights.

Horrible scam shop that doesn’t give refunds as per their policies. Stay away from here! I paid over USD200 and don’t even have a product from them with a wait period of more that ten times of how long they said it should take.

Pour les fans de montres ou de maroquinerie de luxe, ABP est l’endroit qu’il vous faut. Cet atelier artisanal propose des bracelets de montre sur-​mesure dans des matériaux nobles (cuir, croco, galuchat.) et vous guide pas à pas lors de la confection. Il est également possible de réaliser des accessoires de maroquinerie sur-​mesure, tels que des serviettes, des portes stylos, ou des portes-​feuilles. Une idée de cadeau original, mais attention, le savoir-​faire et le luxe ont un prix!
Ils proposent également des montres vintages à l’achat, elles sont souvent en très bon état pour un prix intéressant. Je conseille vivement cet endroit aux aficionados des bracelets-​montres et de l’horlogerie en général.
