A choice we can defend in person.
Italo Fontana has run U-Boat from Lucca since 2000, drawing on a 1940s family design lineage to make Italian watches that are oversized and unapologetically so. A small share of our clients want a wrist that announces itself, and we hold a few U-Boat pieces so we can answer that honestly rather than redirect it.
Unveiled at the 2024 Geneva fair, the Chimera SS Green is the time-only model with the house's new striped dial, the parallel grooves giving the green face a sculpted, three-dimensional read. It is one of the Lucca house's most distinctive designs, here in relief and colour at once.
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.
