A watch brand, based in Italy, producing from almost 20 years handcrafted and limited edition pieces, all of them designed by Italo Fontana. Unique and tailormade watches, all guaranteed by finest Italian craftsmanship.
The company is based in a country "villa" surrounded by Gragnano’s hills, only 15 minutes away from Lucca’s old medieval town walls, in the heart of Tuscany. A land of great inspiration for Italo Fontana whose creativity is a mixture of objects, atmospheres and particular places surrounding him. Each U-BOAT creation is undoubtedly an expression of the values of Made in Tuscany around the world.
Most U-Boat watch self-winding movements can be wound properly by most watch winders. Usually U-Boat’s self-winding movements need to rotate 650 - 800 revolutions per day, and most of them can be wound clockwise. So please take some time and like to choose a cute clockwork that suits you and your watch. Each watch is a work of art, a unique specimen.

If you could not find your watch model (or caliber) in this table, you may determine your U-Boat watches. winding mode on a trial basis. You should select the combined winding mode (CW+CCW) and the minimal number of turns per day (TPD). Then place your watch into the watch winding box and check after a few days how accurate your watch shows the time. If it runs behind, it is necessary to increase the number of TPD by one step.
