A choice we can defend in person.
Italo Fontana founded U-Boat in Lucca in 2000 and kept it large, Italian and frank about wanting to be noticed, drawing on a family heritage of 1940s design. We hold a few because a small portion of our clients want a watch that announces itself, and we would rather answer that directly than talk them into restraint.
The Doppiotempo 46 Bronzo GR sets a naturally aged bronze case around a bi-directional rotating bezel and a dual-time system that shows two zones at once. The bronze weathers individually with wear. A travelling watch built to read both times at a glance, at U-Boat's full 46mm presence.
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.
