MAY TWENTY,
AN IDEA OF
LUXURY

ORIGINS

The idea came-about in 2014 as Alix simply tried to replace a warn-out watch strap. Local suppliers failed to meet her wishes. So, when conceptualizing May Twenty, her watch strap offering would need to fulfill 3 requirements; combine choice and quality, be adaptable to all shapes and forms, have a short delivery time whilst being reasonably priced object.

A SWISS BRAND
DEDICATED TO QUALITY

Quality

We have carefully looked for the right skills and teamed-up with one of the leaders, operating for more than 75 years. Not only do they work to perfection but they have developed a creative mind that is very much aligned with ours.
At May Twenty, nothing gets delivered without a strict Swiss Quality Control being applied. All our products are submitted to a battery of physical and chemical quality controls.

 

Infinity of Colours

400 references and still growing. Not only does May Twenty specialise in leather but our fabric selection is also second to none. We have 41 blue leather bracelets, 15 black and 20 pink to choose from. To mention but a few: Love Gold, Golf Green, Ocean Blue, Vivid Black, Eton Grey, Ivy Blue, Rainbow Orange and the list goes on and on and on…
At regular intervals, we issue capsule collections.

 

Interchangeable

Thanks to the interchangeable system, you will have to possibility to change your bracelet as often as you wish. It is easy to operate. Watches are an important piece of your personality, you dress differently in your business and leisure lives now your cherished watch will be adapted to both. Apple Watch straps can also be changed easily.

 

Tailor-made

Have a watch strap that coincides with how you feel. Because we offer an incredible range of interchangeable watch straps clients have challenged us to match a specific color of shoes, the color of a belt, a handbag or even a car.
We enjoy these requests, they make our work always more satisfying. 
Don’t hesitate to test us.

 

Sustainable

For our alligator armbands, we strictly follow the CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) guidelines. Therefore, we are sure they come from reputable farms where animals are treated with respect. This guarantees the wildlife is preserved while the finished product is of better quality

 

Responsible

Highlighting May Twenty’s commitment to eco-responsibility, the vegan collection combines tradition and modernity, through a variety of technical innovations including the reuse of food industry waste, like apple and grapes requiring less synthetic material than conventional vegan leather. The strap is 100% vegan, including the inside-part.
