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.

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 and handle the shipping both ways.
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.
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.
