A choice we can defend in person.
Italo Fontana has run U-Boat from Lucca since 2000, drawing on a 1940s family heritage to make Italian watches that are oversized and unapologetic. 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 talk them into something more restrained.
The Classico 45 Titanio Tungsteno CA BK combines titanium and tungsten, two of the strongest metals there are, into a 45mm case that is at once lightweight and ultra-resistant. The contrast of materials does the work. Strength and lightness in a single, decisive package.
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.
The watch, by the number.

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.
