A choice we can defend in person.
U-Boat, from Lucca since 2000 and built on Italo Fontana's family lineage of the 1940s, makes Italian watches that are large and frank about wanting to be noticed. A small portion of our clients want presence on the wrist, and we carry the house so we can answer them plainly rather than redirect the request to something quieter.
The Classico 45 Titanium Tungsten Black is limited to 299 numbered pieces, its black 'carrés' dial reading with mystery and power. Built from titanium and tungsten, metals known for toughness and lightness, it is made for those who state something with every moment. A bold dial in a resilient case.
Hand-finished, made to be serviced.
This movement carries beating at 4 Hz.
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.
