The Italian watch brand U-Boat is based in Tuscany, Italy and has been producing handmade watches based on Italo Fontana's designs in limited editions for almost 20 years. Fontana's creations have a very distinctive design and are inspired by watch designs by his grandfather, who was commissioned in 1942 to design and manufacture a watch for Italian naval and air force officers.
