U-Boat Capsoil Watches
U-Boat watches are known for having features which
distinguish
them
perfectly from other timepieces. These watches feature
Swiss
movements but
are otherwise proudly “Made in Italy”. The brand has an
interesting
history
which actually dates back to 1942. But the brand today is
incredibly
modern
but built on its unique background and unbelievable quality
watches.
The History of U-Boat Watches
The story of U-Boat watches dates back to 1942 when Ilvo
Fontana was
commissioned to produce a timepiece for Italian naval
officers.
These
watches were set to become the pride of the U-Boat
officers
crafted by
the
best Italian watchmaker. However, for unknown reasons,
this
project
was
scrapped before any of these watches could reach the
wrists of
the
naval
officers. Luckily, the designs, colour samples and materials
were
preserved
for over 60 years. Italo Fontana, a grandson of the
watchmaker,
used these
early designs to finally bring the project to life with the
founding
of the
U-Boat brand.
Italian Made, Swiss Powered
This collection of U-Boat watches is based around the old
designs
of a
master Italian watchmaker, so it is only right that the
watches
are
manufactured in Italy itself. But when it comes to quality
high
quality
precision, these fantastic watches require the highest
quality
movements.
For that reason, U-Boat watches are proudly made in Italy
but
feature
the
top quality movements from Switzerland. This fusion of
quality
Italian
craftsmanship and Swiss precision brings to the market a
fantastic
watch
brand which proudly brings together the best of both
countries
watchmaking
abilities.
