A choice we can defend in person.
Lucca, est. 2000: Italo Fontana built U-Boat on a design instinct inherited from his family's 1940s drawings, and he never softened it. These are oversized, Italian, unapologetic watches that exist to be seen. Not every client wants that, but the ones who do are specific about it, and we carry U-Boat so we have an honest answer for them rather than a compromise.
The Darkmoon 44mm Black SS sets the oil-filled movement in stainless steel, the liquid pressing the dial into a deep, even black with markedly higher legibility. The locking-ring construction allows a fast battery change. Stripped of finish, it is the cleanest reading of the Darkmoon idea.
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.
