Custom strap maker?

Can anyone point me toward a strap maker willing to undertake a custom strap for my wife's very non-traditionally-shaped Louvic Pyramid Mystery Dial?

For those unfamiliar with the watch, some photos may be viewed here:

Any tips gratefully appreciated.

It’s nothing complicated – a differing width at the lugs, with a taper to the open/buckle ends.
Anyone making more than just Panerai style straps should be capable of catering for it.

One worth definitely getting in touch with is Aaron at Bespoke in Montreal, Canada.
If you’re looking something closer to home, then spend time on Google, which may make it easier if whomever you choose asks for the original to ensure they get the dimensions correct, etc.

I haven't had much (or any) luck locally, so had resigned myself to venturing a bit farther afield with the quest.

Thanks for the link; I'll contact Aaron on Monday.

Mark Sanders does custom straps for non-conventional lugs. His work is awesome, he does all of my Panerai straps.
