The story of U-boat watches from MATT BAILY to BaselWORLD 2010

The luxury watches for sale industry is difficult to enter. In the first decade of operation, few young companies have succeeded. Since its opening in 2004, Matt Baily Marchand de Montres et Bijoux has been passionate about discovering these forward-thinking, innovative companies. U-Boat is located near the Italian town of Lucca, Florence, and is a good example of a young company that caught Matt's attention. Matt Baily discovered the U-Boat watch as he carefully read the aisle of Baselworld 2005. Due to the design skills of Italo Fontana, the U-Boat watch brand has been rapidly gaining popularity over the years, while maintaining the rarity and reputation of a small manufacturer.

After discovering the Italian U-Boat brand, Matt was very excited to bring the watch into the store. The negotiations did not last long. Shortly after he returned from Basel, we received the first shipment. Most of the first watches made by U-Boat were equipped with the Japanese Myota quartz movement. Although still a premium item, the original Lefthooks and Lefthook Cronos were designed as luxury fashion accessories rather than watches for connoisseurs.

Many boutique visitors at the time and now were shocked by the size of the 53mm LeftHooks. The crown system on the left side of each watch is another strange thing. This feature is why "left" is placed in "Lefthook".U-BOAT STRATOS 40 BK 9002 Replica Watch ,Later, we found that all U-Boat watches had a left-hand configuration due to the inspiration of Italo Fontana to produce watches. The U-1942 is equipped with a large, sturdy crown system on the left side of the case for added comfort. The left hand configuration is the key to the success of the U-Boat watch. It makes the 45, 48 and 53 mm timepieces exceptionally comfortable. Each model is a limited edition, indicating that these are not mass-produced, but exclusive luxury items.

In the first year of Matt Matt, U-Boat watches achieved absolute success. These watches are reasonably priced, made in Italy, and the LeftHook style is unique and interesting. Since each model is a limited edition, many styles begin to disappear and fewer and fewer new styles are released. For some time, it has been difficult to get the watch that the customer wants. The reason for this scarcity is that the company has improved its watchmaking skills and replaced the entire quartz watch collection with new models running on high-end, Swiss mechanical movements. The classical collection is the result of the company's transition to high-end watchmaking. In appearance, it is almost identical to LeftHooks, except for many differences, including a transparent back cover, a slightly thick case, and an engraved metal plate on the strap.

I came up with two possible reasons why the company might have to change the watch. Faced with the popularity and expansion of their first collection, Italo Fontana and the company chose between increasing the production of current models or creating high-end products and keeping production low. Consistent with the original non-mass production method, the company chose the latter. It is also possible to always carry out high-ends in the plan, and the quartz model is a form of market research. One thing is for sure.Porsche Design Flat6 P6360 Flat Six Automatic Chronograph Black steel

The original mechanical movements, many of which are still in production, use Swiss mechanical movements and feature an improved case. The back of each watch is finished and features a large see-through window to highlight the style of a senior Swiss mechanic. Other aspects such as the strap and crown have also been improved. Prices have risen, about twice the starting price of U-Boat watches, but the new model quickly disappears if the watch enthusiasts accept any questions about high-end products. U-Boat is not only popular, but also attracts the attention of celebrities.

Sylvester Stallone is a famous VIP U-boat fan. His representative initially contacted the Matt Mattly boutique and thought we were the manufacturer. Mr. Stallone has encountered these watches in Italy, and his people have found our website, which shows these watches. In the end, Sly became U-Boat's most famous customer. This is a good indication that the most popular item on the Baily Blog is Dino's Stallone jumping on the U-boat trend.

With the advent of the new U-Boat watch, two new series were introduced. 50 square millimeter "thousand feet" table and very popular Flighdeck chronograph and three hand watches. Every aspect of the U-Boat watch has been regularly improved. Over time, sapphire crystals have become standard on all models, the crown cap has become more sturdy, and the leather strap now comes with a fold-over buckle and more comfortable leather. In terms of horology, the company proved itself by releasing the first sophisticated U-51 Rattrapante chronograph and the creative design of the U-42 ​​and the Flightdeck ceramic bezel.

The success of the company in the past ten years represents the 2010 Basel International Watch and Jewellery Show. When Matt Baily found the U-Boat watch, Italo Fontana's booth was small and was located in the secondary hall of the watch fair. In 2010, Rolex, Patek Philippe, Swatch Group and other watchmakers established a luxurious multi-layer structure in Hall 1. Regarding this achievement, Italo commented: “This is incredible, but it is true” and is proud of the work he and his colleagues have done in the past. Achieving this goal in such a short period of time is a long process, and this is just the beginning of the U-ship story.ZENITH PILOT TYPE 20 EXTRA SPECIAL 03.2430.3000/21.C738
