A choice we can defend in person.
There is a kind of watch that is its own announcement and is plain about being exactly that. U-Boat, made in Lucca since 2000 from Italo Fontana's family design heritage, builds that watch deliberately. A small portion of our clients ask for presence on the wrist, and we would rather answer them with conviction than redirect them to something more demure.
The Darkmoon 44mm Black IPB carries a fully oil-filled case that renders the dial a more intense black and sharpens contrast at a glance. The black IP coating draws the whole watch into one tone, and the locking-ring system keeps servicing simple. Monolithic, legible, and unmistakably U-Boat.
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.
