For information call Mauricio at 310.433-9293 Back in 1942 the "Officine Fontana" was poised to produce a professional watch for the distinguished officers of its navy’s U-Boats. Though the project was ultimately scrapped, the distinctive original drawings, color samples and innovative materials were lovingly preserved for more than 60 years. In 2000, Italo Fontana, a cousin of the watchmaker’s late founder, made a long held company dream come true with the launch of today’s inspired U-Boat brand.U-Boat watches, just like their original namesake, are bold, aggressive and oversized. These timepieces embodied force and style and revealed the unique personality of the man behind the revival, Italo Fontana: “It took me seven years to develop and refine the U-BOAT watches. Inspired by 18th century craftsmanship and intricate made-by- hand detailing we can now produce a timepiece of rare artisanal quality that reaches to a new dimension of watch making .”Character and strength is a hallmark of the U-Boat brand. All watches in the line are designed with the crown on the left side of the case. It is both a unique and unexpectedly comfortable timepiece to wear.

It was originally designed for the Italian Navy, not unlike some Panerai. Yet, the dial of this watch is somewhat subdued at the same time. The entire look gains a stunning quality to it that could only be achieved by Italo Fontana of U-Boat. --The daring color and strong shape come together to complete this massive yet wearable and comfortable watch.--I absolutely love this piece and the Italian designers in general, and their dedication to the most spectacular watches, in design, functionality, legibility and all around excellence in quality!
