A choice we can defend in person.
U-Boat, from Lucca since 2000 and rooted in Italo Fontana's 1940s family design lineage, builds large, Italian watches that are their own announcement and entirely honest about it. A portion of our clients want that presence on the wrist, and we carry the house so we can meet them plainly rather than redirect the request to something quieter.
The Capsoil Chrono DLC sets a chronograph movement in a 45mm black-DLC case, the electromechanics fully immersed in an oil bath that turns the dial an absolute, three-dimensional black and leaves an ever-moving compensation bubble in view. The locking-ring system keeps servicing simple. Depth made literal, in U-Boat's full scale.
Hand-finished, made to be serviced.
Hand-assembled, regulated, and finished to the manufacture’s own standard.
Servicing is organised through us and the manufacture, and the watch comes back to your wrist — with a loaner in the meantime.

A relationship, not a transaction.
Every watch we sell stays close to us. We organise servicing, source straps, and answer the telephone ourselves — for as long as the watch is yours, and the wrist after that.
When the time comes, we arrange the full service through U-Boat, handle the shipping both ways, and put a loaner on your wrist while you wait.
Replacement straps and bracelets at cost, in any material the manufacture offers, fitted in person at the bench.
You speak to Jason — for a warranty question, a service interval, or simply a second opinion — for as long as you own the watch.
When your watch is at service we will put another independent on your wrist, so the wrist is never empty.
Hold it once. Turn it over.
A watch makes more sense in the hand than on a screen — particularly through the sapphire back. Book a viewing at 900 West Hastings St., Vancouver and we will put a loupe in your hand.
