U-Boat: A New Dimension in Time
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. This distinctive signature is the brand
statement: Classic yet powerful.
All items in the collection are made with either automatic or
manual Swiss ETA mechanical movements. Each are housed in
full-bodied, oversized, steel cases. PVD treated crystals, and
precious metals beautifully merge with rubber and steel details,
challenging traditional design standards in the world of
timepieces.
From the Thousand of Feet Collection with its particular
dodecagonal shaped case, to the latest Nightvision Collection
that allows you to replace the colored glass, each watch express
a singular personality.
In 2005, Italo Fontana joined forces with Mounir Moufarrige, an
accled tastemaker known for breathing new life into Montblanc
and Chloé. Together they are bringing U-Boat into the limelight
of today’s watch industry. Found only at the most discriminating
of international retailers, U-Boat watches are earning worldwide
appreciation from connoisseurs of rare and beloved timepieces.
