The Details

Material

Handcrafted in France from genuine Louisiana alligator, each Orleans band showcases the beauty of this exceptional natural material. A signature royal purple goatskin lining feels soft and supple against the wrist. Because genuine alligator is a natural material, every hide has its own scale pattern, so the band you receive may vary from the photos shown.

Design

Orleans is designed with a slim, feminine profile that transforms your Apple Watch into an elegant accessory. Lightweight construction and minimal padding make it comfortable to wear while keeping the look sleek and streamlined.

Fit

Compatible with all Apple Watch Series, including SE and Ultra models. One length comfortably fits most wrists from 5.5 – 6.8 inches. Watch not included.

Care

Handle with clean, dry hands. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, perspiration, perfumes, lotions, household chemicals, friction, and direct heat. We recommend rotating your bands regularly. View the complete Care Guide for detailed instructions.

Why Your Apple Watch Feels Different

Most Apple Watch bands are designed as tech accessories. Chalonne was created to transform the Apple Watch into a refined accessory worthy of the rest of your wardrobe.
Thoughtfully designed to complement your daily looks, each band can be the finishing touch to any outfit.

Style

The perfect neutral that finishes every look with ease.

Taupe is the band you put on without a second thought. It sits as naturally with a cashmere turtleneck and tailored trousers as it does with a weekend sweatshirt and white sneakers. The soft tone complements just about any color pallete. It lets your clothes lead, while the alligator scales add the quiet detail that makes the whole look feel finished.

Craft

Handcrafted in Pelousey, France

Each Orleans band is handcrafted in Pelousey, France from genuine Louisiana alligator. Skilled artisans carefully cut, stitch, line, and finish every band by hand in small batches. From the quality of the leather to the hand-finished details, Orleans reflects the French craftsmanship that makes each Chalonne band feel truly special.
