A choice we can defend in person.
U-Boat makes watches that want to be noticed and is candid about the ambition. From Lucca, since 2000, Italo Fontana has drawn on his family's 1940s heritage to build Italian pieces of real presence. A small share of our clients ask for exactly that, and we carry the house so we can meet them honestly rather than steer them elsewhere.
The Chimera Green Bronze is a 500-piece limited edition with a laser-cut dial, the seconds and 24-hour hands rendered in green against a bronze case that will weather to its own finish. The cut dial reads as worked rather than printed. Bold colour in a watch that carries its scale with conviction.
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.
