Paracord Watch Strap

A watch strap designed for Victorinox — still sold today.

Client: Victorinox2019

The brief

Victorinox needed a distinctive watch strap that communicated durability and outdoor credibility while aligning with the I.N.O.X. product line. The strap had to be manufacturable at scale and feel premium in hand.

My role

End-to-end product design: concept, material selection, construction detailing, 3D CAD, prototype coordination, and manufacturing handoff.

Process

01

Explored 12+ weave patterns and material combinations

02

Developed custom tooling approach for consistent production

03

Iterated through 3 prototype rounds with factory

04

Finalized production-ready CAD and spec package

Outcome

The paracord strap shipped as part of the I.N.O.X. collection and continues to be sold today. It became one of the line's distinguishing accessories, demonstrating that a well-designed detail can extend the life and desirability of an entire product family.
