Deployant Clasps
stainless steel
and yellow and red / pink gold-plated
by mywatchmaker.net
I searched for years for a manufacturer who could provide a superior quality deployant clasp to my specifications. These are them.
I've had these flip-lock, push-button deployants made in both double and single-fold and both are available in polished or brushed finish. The mywatchmaker.net* deployant clasps are custom-made to my specifications so that they will accommodate the thicker watch straps favored by many watch collectors today.
The finish on these deployant clasps is superb with all the edges rounded and smoothed. The patented mechanism is simply a brilliant design, impeccably executed and it functions smoothly and flawlessly. It's been tested successfully to over 10,000 open/close cycles - thats over 27 years at once a day. That superb design enables the "works" portion of the deployant to be smooth on the wrist and make the deployant only 2 mm thick - a definite plus on the wrist.
* I finally decided to "brand" my deployant clasps as what they are - mywatchmaker.net deployants. On web watch forums you may see them as "rhd" deployants - the name by which I am known on those watch forums.

workmanship on the mywatchmaker.net deployant clasps is superior to anything I have purchased before and the deployant
operation is smooth and flawless... To say I am impressed is an understatement".

| Because both the deployant and the buckle fit over the buckle end of the strap they are the same width as the buckle end of the strap
the inside width of both the buckle and the deployant has to be the same as the outside width of the strap at the buckle end. |

20 mm and 22 mm Double-fold Deployant Clasp
as you can see in the photograph - on the left - , the fold-over on the 20 mm deployant is a different design from that of the 18 mm deployant. Like the third bowl of porridge - it's "just right."
It's a little flatter and wider which suits the large straps and watches for which it is designed. The inside height at the center of the fold-over is 5 mm which will accommodate thicker straps. It fits the 20 mm buckle end on the 22 mm Di-Modell "Jumbos" perfectly, for example.
I am sorry, I just sold out of the single-fold only 20 mm deployant clasp only.
All other sizes and finishes are in stock and ready to ship.
22 mm Deployant Clasp in Double-fold only
On the brushed finish models only the foldover is brushed.
$37.95 20 or 22 mm deployant
Please note the size deployant clasp you select should be the same as the size of the buckle that is on your watch strap, ie. a watch strap that has an 18 mm regular buckle will take an 18 mm deployant clasp. |

| better quality deployant clasps, with a better warranty
The standard warranty for other brands, if they have a warranty, seems to be one year against what is often nebulously called "manufacturer's defects.
Because of the superior design and manufacture of mywatchmaker.net deployant clasps, I offer twice that warranty - 2 years - and a straight out, simple replacement policy:
If the deployant clasp fails to work properly during the warranty period, I'll replace it at no charge. |

"I am absolutely delighted with your gold-plated deployant clasp, great quality, great fit and a fantastic price! Seriously, I would pay at least double for it. And on top of that you provide old-fashioned service too." - - Richard G., Croydon, PA
* red/pink gold-plated deployants are often mistakenly called "rose" gold-plated by other sellers on the Web. For an explanation of the difference between red/pink gold and rose gold please scroll down.

red/pink gold plated in 16 and 18 mm double-fold Gold-plated Deployant Clasps by mywatchmaker.net $49. to purchase either the yellow or red/pink gold-plated deployant clasps please click on the "add to cart" button below
Please note the size deployant clasp you select should be the same as the size of the buckle that is on your watch strap, ie. a watch strap that has an 18 mm regular buckle will take an 18 mm deployant clasp.
an important note about gold colors
Those
sellers are offering red / pink gold-plated deployant clasps
and calling them "rose" gold and watch owners
will be sorely disapponted if they are trying to match the color of their rose
gold watch. You can see examples of red/pink gold and rose gold colors in the photographs
below.
The so-called "rose" gold deployant clasp pictured on the right above isn't even close to the color of rose gold Minerva Caliber 49 watch. That deployant is being distributed by Hadley-Roma and is being described by many sellers on the Web as "rose" gold. |
