A choice we can defend in person.
U-Boat has worked out of Lucca since 2000, where Italo Fontana built on a family design lineage from the 1940s to make Italian watches of unmistakable scale. They are their own announcement, and the house says so. A small share of our clients want that, and we carry U-Boat to answer them with conviction rather than a compromise.
Shown at the 2024 Geneva fair, the Chimera Chrono SS Blue is a chronograph defined by its striped dial, the parallel lines adding both depth and a quiet note of technology to the blue face. The texture holds the eye where the counters do the work. A true study in U-Boat's design language at full size.
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.
