With the new Kama, Italo Fontana transforms the very concept of time perception into a constantly evolving visual experience.

The new U-Boat creation is based on a precise idea: matter and light meeting in a constant transformation. Not just a simple aesthetic effect, but an automatic watch designed to react to its surroundings, changing shades, depth, and visual presence according to the light.

Transparent cases that react to UV rays

The heart of the project is represented by the special transparent photosensitive cases, developed to change color when exposed to ultraviolet rays.

Under normal conditions, the Kama maintains a crystal-clear and neutral transparency, allowing the entire architectural structure of the timepiece to emerge. Under UV light, however, the case progressively transforms, taking on intense and vibrant shades.

The collection offers various color variants, with shades ranging from purple to blue to orange, creating an extremely spectacular visual effect.

The white details of the strap also undergo the same chromatic transformation, changing color in perfect harmony with the case and further amplifying the sense of visual continuity of the project.

An automatic watch that evolves with light

In the official press release, U-Boat describes the Kama as a timepiece that "redefines the perception of time," transforming every moment into a chromatic variation and a new emotion.

This concept is very different from traditional watchmaking. Here, time is not simply interpreted as a mechanical measurement, but as a sensory experience and continuous transformation.

The presence of an automatic movement further reinforces this philosophy, combining traditional mechanics and contemporary experimentation within a highly emotional project.

Light becomes an integral part of the watch itself, modifying its character throughout the day and creating a constant interaction between the timepiece, the environment, and the wearer.

The U-Boat DNA in a contemporary key

While introducing innovative materials and solutions, the Kama retains all the distinctive elements of the U-Boat universe.

The case dimensions, the protected side crown, the oversized indices, and the strong architectural impact remain immediately recognizable. However, the transparency of the structure and the continuous chromatic change project the collection towards a much more contemporary and experimental aesthetic.

The result is an automatic watch that combines industrial design, material research, and strong visual identity in an extremely original way.

More than just a watch, an experience

The new U-Boat Kama does not aim for discretion.

It is a timepiece designed to amaze, change, and interact with light in real-time. Each exposure to UV rays alters the appearance of the watch, making every moment visually different from the last.

More than an accessory, the Kama becomes a dynamic object, capable of continuously evolving just like the time it represents.
