A choice we can defend in person.
Few houses are as honest about their intent as U-Boat. From Lucca, since 2000, Italo Fontana has built on his family's 1940s design heritage to make watches that are oversized, Italian and frankly theatrical. A small share of our clients want precisely that theatre, and we keep U-Boat so we can answer them directly rather than offer a quieter substitute.
The Darkmoon 44mm Red IPB Soleil sets a red metal dial with a soleil finish beneath the house oil, the brushed rays catching light while the liquid lifts the colour to a deeper, more saturated red. The locking-ring construction simplifies battery changes. Vivid and legible, with U-Boat's full presence intact.
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.
