About Us

The windmill at Fantasy Garden in the outskirts of Richmond, was an iconic symbol that resonated with the local community. Its unique charm and distinct presence made it a recognizable feature, associated with our childhood memories and local identity. Though it’s no longer there, the memories of those magical visits remain vivid for us who grew up in the area. The windmill of our logo represents the heritage of where we, the founders, came from.

At our core, we believe without change, there is no innovation. Our watch straps represent our passion as watch collectors coming together to create something special while reminiscing the past. 

At Strap Mill Canada, you will find little quirks and thoughtful features on products that are unique only to us. We value the tradition of watch making, and strive to produce products with innovation, quality materials, and workmanship. As avid watch collectors, we understand there are different scenarios our watches has to go through, so we have provided a range of products to help expand your preferences and needs. We believe a watch strap should be beautiful and functional. Our materials are meticulously tested and chosen for their quality and characteristics. 

All of the products are designed and tested in Richmond BC, Canada, near where the old windmill used to be; and manufactured in Asia, such as Hong Kong and China. 

Our raw materials are sourced from all over the world, including France, Italy, China, and Japan. Strap Mill Canada is not just a store, but a place for us to share our passion as watch collectors - some of our experiences are shared on Information Hub page.

We hope you find our website resourceful and enjoy watches as much as we do!
