I really enjoyed meeting you and I am sure our paths will cross again ;-)

Great interview. Kid, you're doing an honest, no bullshit job with this Take Time channel. Keep on bringing quality content.

I just ordered an MN strap and I’m still waiting but I’ve been so excited I can’t stop watching reviews. This interview is so good. She’s wonderful. I’m happy I’ll have a strap from her.

Love my Erika's Originals MN strap. Great job interviewing her. Can't wait to see the new colours!

Pat, great video and interview. Thanks! I wrote with her a while back and she is indeed very nice. Im looking forward to the grey and the navy one. so cool. Cheers from Germany Daniel

Excellent coverage again. It’s because of consent like this that you will become one of the best watch content KZfaqrs just keep up the good work and mark my words.

Such a wonderful interview. Erika seems like such a passionate honest person. I am DEFINITELY going to be addin g multiple examples to my collection. Thanks Patrick for airing this. Fantastic!!!!

Just discovered your channel and love your style. Been a fan of Erika's work for a few years and great to see such a fun yet in depth interview with her.

Very cool episode giving the small business we've all stumbled across in our own random obsessive internet searching for accessories a face with this interview. Great episode. You're really killing it, mate.

Great interview! It's fascinating to see and hear from people innovating and offering new products. I particularly enjoy hearing stories from people like Erika who design and manufacture at the cottage industry level. Their motivation, passion and energy is very inspiring. Well done, Patrick! Erika is very cool.

I love that entrepreneurial spirit. Especially when it’s manifested in someone who is a genuinely good person and takes a lot of pride in their work. She seems like a really cool lady and it’s awesome that she’s found this little niche community that loves and appreciates what she has to offer.

Jeebus man, right in the feels. Loving the music and the editing, and props for being able to building connections like this to be able to produce such unique and relevant videos.

I totally agree! I recently got a Trident Lumed MN Strap for my Seiko 62mas reissue (SBDC53J) and as a bracelet type of guy myself, I was a bit hesitant. But after installing it and wearing it day in and day out for a few days now, I must say after buying hundreds of straps over the years, this MN strap must be one of the best and most comfortable strap I have ever owned. Plus her customer service is exceptional. I had an issue with my order and without hesitation on her part, took care of it right away. So thank you, Patrick, for posting this video, even if I have seen it 4-5 times already, and thank you, Erika, for being Erika. Be well to both of you. Cheers from Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Let me know if you own an MN Strap! How has your experience been with it and would *you* recommend Erika's Originals? Oh, *Happy Halloween* everyone.

Great strap! It's nice to know she is such a great person as well! Much success to mn straps!

What an absolutely brilliant video. Loved it!! Please keep up the amazing work!

You're great Patrick! Erika is awesome and her product is top notch. ;)

I just discovered Erika’s Original Straps (I’m a newbie in this world, lol). So, I wanted to watch some reviews and saw this interview. Really cool interview and nice to see your genuine reaction. I def going to order a strap... or two... or three

Thanks for the interview Patrick. Very interesting. --Michael

Your channel is what I was looking for, great work chap keep rocking cheers from uk

Cool straps. I am glad you had the opportunity yo have such a fascinating person!

Pat, these videos are awesome man. Keep it up.

Just picked up one of these for my own Doxa sub, superb strap.

This is just such a great video. Really fun!

Great interview!

Great interview. I've been on the fence about ordering one of these but I'm definitely grabbing one now.

Fun story, interesting products, great vibes. Thanks for the continued hard work, the stuff you've been making so far have been excellent. Can't wait to see the MN line grow with more colors, there are definitely a few MN straps in my future. Happy Halloween!

Great video. I got two of her straps and they are super comfortable! Thanks for the interview. Would have been great to talk to her husband too about his watch collection as it’s fantastic.

You nailed it again my friend! Great interview and good energy throughout the video. I love the direction your channel is going. My best wishes, Ivan p.s. and now I need to get one of those EO straps for myself... :)

That was a fantastic video, the photography was beautiful, and the interview with Erika was super charming! In a fair world, you would have immensely many more subscribers - millions!

thank you for the up and i would like to thank erika for designing this kind of elastic strap. but i can only scratch my head on the 75€. this explains why everyones copying it with a much smaller price tag

hey nice to hear this great business story. like this ladies attitude and way of doing things :)

Great video, I am DEFINITELY getting one of her straps now!!!

Heck yeah - I own one! Bill Yao (MKii) recommended her to me cause I was telling him (at Wind Up 2016) about how I’m one of those guys who wears their watch tight. Her straps are top notch. I recommend her 100%. Hers is the only strap you can actually wear and forget that your watch is on...that’s how comfy. Customer service was great. Oh yeah...great segment Pat! 👍👍👍

One of these straps is definitely on my to buy list. Black & red for my SKX

Amazing original Video. Sorry I missed it earlier....great Erika...

Great interview. I agree with her on time only watches.

My own just got shipped yesterday, they look so well made and funky.

Excellent job. I need one ASAP now.

Always a pleasure to wear erika MN strap, very professional. Bought many, next order will be for my ZRC.I guess erika have pre-order the new aqualung ;)

Great interview. Am going to order some straps.

Her genuineness shows through.

Great video... well spoken - will buy

Erika seem to be as down to Earth as they come. And finally, somebody's making a neater alternative to the NATO. I want two MN straps, the original green/yellow and a Mirage with blue stripe.

That beige strap does look super nice. Great vid

Great straps. Have several vintage Doxas on em.

I don't have an MN Strap yet, but they look amazing! I will definitely get one soon (and maybe a Doxa!!) Mike

Very well done! Cheers!

Awesome and different . I will check it out MN straps .

I think I will go order one, I've been looking at them a bit actually. Thank you for the review!

Jesus I need a doxa..... awesome straps, grate video.

‘Do it right or please don’t bother’. Love it.

I love mine! Great work.. Got to get the black one!

I enjoyed this clip and She spoke English very well!

Erika is great, her straps are great (ordered 4).....Long may she continue to create her works of art....Huge wuvs ;)

I just bought a Damasko DC 80 and it came with a Ericas Original. I actually negotiated without the strap because I don't wear nato's. He ended up sending the strap anyways and I don't think I'll ever wear the watch without it. So comfortable so cool looking so well made.

I'm sold! Plase guys, don't get the replicas, they aren't even that cheap... Cant wait to get a strap for my Seiko Flightmaster. Oh, one more thing. Nice interview! :)

That was great. I bought one of her straps two summers ago after hearing about the the grey NATO. It's a great strap. Now I need one of the beige she gave you.

Incredibly happy customer. These straps are the most comfortable I've ever owned. Will definitely be ordering more. Extremely well built and phenomenal customer service. 🙏🙏🙏 ⌚⚔️🖋️🔦

Good content Bro. Keep it coming.

JUST! AWESOME! You bring it to the next level Patrick, as usual a joy watching your vid👍🏻👍🏻👀👀🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thanks for that and happy Halloween 🎃 By the way: Not owning a M&N but pretty sure getting one for my PADI, the blue red one on the bronze Doxa would be perfect with steel keepers and buckle.

Great video 👍🏻

Great passion & creative woman 👍

Wow, great video. I can't belive I've never heard of these straps before. They look amazing, and I definitely need to order one. I would really love to have one marked "prototype" but I'm guessing those aren't available for ordering. Especially since this video is three years old.

Erika comes across very genuine...a great " get"....cheers

Patrick using his handsome boyish looks to fish for free products 😁 Somehow I imagined a tiny old grey lady making these straps, good to see the person behind the product.

Great video, I may have to buy one of these straps as well.

Very cool. Will have to check these out. Cheers:)

She is really lovely. And I really enjoy my MN from her. (a customer from Brazil)

First, you lucky dog! Cool new EO MN Strap. Cool interview. I think the new MN is that MN with a glow in the dark center stripe.. I don't think I'm revealing anything I should since she posted it on Facebook recently and asked for opinion and response to it. Cool stuff! I like the new khaki MN that's up, but it only has a red stripe option running up the middle. I asked Erika and she says there will be more color options in the near future.. looking for the khaki with a blue center stripe... with bronze hardware for an upcoming bronze watch. Actually.. come to think of it, I think she mentioned a new sand color.. which is probably the "beige" one you mentioned and showed and got for free (awe!).. My email from her did express a "sand" color with blue centerstripe as an option. If not the darker khaki, I'll take the sand and blue combo.. but, i really hope she considers making more of the khaki version with more center stripe color options as I think that would be a better tonal match to what I have in mind.. Anyways.. I think the gray and navy will be hot sellers as well. And, pretty cool that they are brand focused collectors of DOXA watches. Thanks for the video interview!

EO straps are great. I have a bunch now and wear them exclusively.

Great content like this really separates your channel from others 👍🏻

I've contacted Erika once via an email-exchange when asking about her products. She was prompt and a pleasure to communicate with. I haven't ordered a strap from her yet, but I plan to in the future.

I think she sees the passion in you mate 👍👍

I bought one about a month ago for my Seiko MM300 and it works very well indeed.

great story

Thank you Patrick for this nice interview! I was wondering whether the buckle on the navy blue with red centreline strap was golden or bronze? I am torn between the black or bronze buckle to match my watch. Thanks for your help!

Must...resist...getting...into...Doxas.... feeling....weak.... Very interesting interview of a person who is obviously creative and passionate about what she does.

You're really pumping out the videos recently Patrick! Are you doing just KZfaq full time?!

Best straps! Comfortable and indestructible. She will give a discount for Military/ Divers too.

I want one ! Looking up Erikas Originals !

I just got my Erika’s MN for my sinn U1 and I will never go back!

I wonder if the big project was the collaboration with Oris on the Carl Brashear 😄

What type is that exact Doxa watch with the yellow dial in the opening picture?

What a great and beautiful woman! I hope she will do a Vintage Bond colored strap in the future!

If I were allowed to hit the Like button 100 times I would for this video!

Just ordered one for my hami, squale and will look great on my sinn 104

Love Erika (straps) and she is very cool Own 4 and just got 2 more with my SUf Helinski Probably getting more

Erika is the best.

What a great story and interview! I think you may have just hit this one out of the park. I don’t own one of these Erika’s M/N straps, but I think I will.

Those Doxas man

Erika, can you please make me one? Please, Erika, can you make me one.. you gotta make me one, please!

What’s the difference between this and NDC strap?

Same exact strap on Ali for $0.99. You can have almost 100 of them for the cost of one of hers.

Hey sorry Erika, but I bought a cheaper knock off of your design. But hey, its fantastic! Great idea for a strap!

I wonder if the secret was the swcc(swick) strap

Do more interviews please. This was very good.

Absolute p1$$ take of a price.

not worth the money... highly overpriced, uncomfortable, hard to put on. not a single redeeming quality

I am a NATO strap hater but this interview makes me think twice. There is capital in being genuine.
