A collaboration to celebrate individuality and craftsmanship
Robert McquaideTwo crafts, one statement: The McQuaide × WatchGecko Damascus Steel watch collaboration
When a distinctive watch meets a hand-finished leather strap, the result should feel intentional. That is exactly what defines the collaboration between McQuaide and WatchGecko.

Designed as a complete pairing
Created as a limited-edition release, the collaboration pairs the McQuaide C1 with WatchGecko’s renowned Radstock leather strap collection. Each strap is individually colour-matched to the dial, bringing together British watch design and refined leather craftsmanship in a way that feels cohesive, wearable and unique.

More than just a strap
Rather than treating the strap as an afterthought, this collaboration was designed around the idea that the right pairing transforms how a watch feels on the wrist. The Radstock strap from WatchGecko is hand-made in Valencia, Spain, using premium hand-finished leather with natural texture and character. Combined with the bold presence of the McQuaide C1, the result is a watch designed to feel personal from the moment it is worn.

Four distinct colourways
The collaboration includes four distinct colourways, each paired with its own corresponding Radstock strap. From the darker tones of Midnight to the vibrant warmth of Sunburst, every combination has been carefully considered to create balance between watch and strap. The focus is not simply on matching colours, but on creating a complete aesthetic that works effortlessly in everyday wear.

Shared values between two British brands
For McQuaide, the collaboration reflects a continued focus on craftsmanship, individuality and thoughtful design. For WatchGecko, it represents the same attention to detail that has made the brand one of the UK’s most respected names in watch straps and accessories.

A limited release designed to stand out
Together, McQuaide and WatchGecko have created a collaboration that feels refined, versatile and genuinely limited. This is not a mass-produced bundle or a simple accessory pairing. It is a carefully considered collaboration between two British brands that value materials, finishing and the experience of ownership.

Built for everyday wear
Whether paired with tailoring, casual wear or everyday essentials, the McQuaide × WatchGecko C1 collaboration is designed to move naturally between settings while retaining a strong sense of individuality. Every detail, from the dial tones to the leather finish, has been selected to create a watch that feels distinctive without trying too hard.

Very limited availavility
Availability is strictly limited across all colourways, making this collaboration a rare opportunity to own a unique expression of the McQuaide C1 with an exclusive WatchGecko strap pairing.
