The Story

The beads of rice (sometimes called a grains of rice bracelet) is among the most classic watch bracelet designs of all time.  Once made by Jacoby-Bender in the mid-twentieth century, the beads of rice style bracelet was provided with some of the most storied watches of all time (Patek Philippe chronographs come to mind), and for good reason. The bracelet exudes a subtle elegance that completely transforms the look and feel of your watch over a more typical leather strap. While it's great with virtually any vintage watch, the beads of rice works equally well with contemporary dress (or cross-over dressy/sporty) watches.  

Now available in gold plated finish, this band is an excellent companion for your vintage and contemporary yellow gold pieces!
