The Lowry Cuff for Apple Watch: Minnesotan Made, Minnesotan Approved
We found a perfect way to represent our Midwest pride with the Leather Lowry Cuff for Apple Watch Series 1 & 2. With rugged but soft leather, it easily forms to the wearer’s wrist while offering a modern callback to traditional watches and it’s hand finished rugged stitching creates a relaxed strap that can easily be worn from the office to a night out with ease. In addition to being amazingly cool, this is a leather Apple Watch band that has some interesting origins too...
Minnesota Origins
The biggest point of pride with this Apple Watch cuff is the homage to the great city of Minneapolis, and Thomas Lowry who was instrumental in its rise. Made on the banks of the Mississippi river in partnership with the Horween Tannery, the Lowry cuff offers a look into leather making that has been in existence since 1905.
Walk around Minneapolis and you are sure to see at least a few homages to Thomas Lowry. He was a startup entrepreneur, who came from humble beginnings and soon changed the landscape of Minneapolis and St. Paul. His efforts include a booming streetcar business, as well as being instrumental in the growth of railways, libraries, hydro plants, hotels, public parks, and boasting a pretty great beard to boot. He not only boosted the economy in Minneapolis and St. Paul but acted as a benefactor to assist in urban development to create the metropolis it has become today.
With a company based in Minneapolis, it’s no wonder we finally paid tribute to one of the great founders of our city. As startup entrepreneurs we felt it was only a matter of time till we acknowledged one of the great men that built the city on who's foundation hundreds of small businesses have thrived.
