Anniversary Series: Leather 3rd Anniversary Gifts
Giving specific anniversary gifts based on the number of years you have been married is a tradition that dates back centuries. And, it’s not just for the big, “milestone” anniversaries either. If you’re celebrating your 3rd anniversary, tradition states that you should be giving a leather gift. Read on for our picks:
Shinola Watch
Almost all of our brands manufacture men’s and women’s watches with leather straps. You truly can’t go wrong with any of them but we’d be remiss not to call out Shinola, an American watch brand with an in-house leather factory and studio in Detroit, Michigan. With leather sourced from some of the world’s finest tanneries, you can guarantee that each watch strap and small leather good is made to last. Check out the Runwell collection for men and the Cass collection for women.
Everest Strap
Are you shopping for a Rolex enthusiast? Whether it’s for a Datejust, an Oyster Perpetual or a Yacht-Master, Everest manufactures exquisite watch straps in Italian vegetable tan leather that pair with almost every modern Rolex available. Precisely manufactured with a curved end so they effortlessly attach to the watch case, Everest bands add even more innovation and style to Rolex watches.
Wolf Case or Winder
Wolf is the world’s leading manufacturer of watch rotators and has been known for meticulous design and production for over 184 years. For a frequent traveler, the Blake Watch Roll is made of smooth black leather and will keep timepieces protected while on the road. The Stackable 12 Piece Watch Tray with Lid and the Windsor Double Winder with Cover both have a stunning black pebble leather finish and would look stylish sitting atop a dresser or nightstand.
Visconti Pen
Visconti’s Falconer Gold RB pen is truly one of the most unique writing instruments we’ve ever seen. The piece pays tribute to the ancient art of falconry, popular in Arabian, Mexican and European cultures, and the cap and blind cap are covered in embossed dark brown leather. The pattern on the leather is a reproduction of a medieval hood exhibited at the Qatar National Museum. Manufactured in an extremely limited number, it’s sure to be a gift your loved one will never forget.

As a fourth generation family member, Scott’s forward-thinking business acumen has placed Feldmar on the cutting edge of the luxury timepiece market. Scott’s favorite part about working at Feldmar is being a part of his family’s multi-generational business and having worked alongside his father. His accomplishments are many, including the expansion and remodel of the Feldmar flagship store, as well as a second location inside The Beverly Hilton.
Since attending Santa Monica College, Scott has become an expert in the technical aspects of the timepieces sold at Feldmar.

Scott is very proud of the way Feldmar customers are put first: “We regularly go out of our way to meet the needs of our clients. A client once purchased a rather significant watch as a birthday gift for his brother who lived in New York. Our client asked how we were going to deliver the gift and we responded with the typical answer, we would ship it by FedEx. After we answered his question, we could tell that he wanted a more personalized experience for the delivery and offered to have it hand-delivered by one of our associates. He lit up at the thought, and so off went one of our associates to New York City for the day to hand-deliver the gift.”
