UTS, the Ultimate Timepiece & Service
OK, so UTS actually
stands for Uhren
Technik Spinner but
if you ever dealt
with UTS, you'd
understand.
Every watch produced
by UTS has a soul
considering that one
person, Herr
Spinner, machines
and assembles each
piece personally.
The ceramic ball
bearing system on
the bezel of my
3000M PVD is amazing
and the lockig bezel
mechanism is
flawless.
I ordered mine with
PloProf hands and
the attention to
detail was quite
nice. The dot on the
locking mechanism
was painted orange
to match the minute
hand.
Stephen Newman deals
with each customer
as though you are
his only customer.
He listened to my
requirements and
made it happen.
As with a 600M
chrono I ordered
from him, he ensured
that I received the
watch(es) with the
time and date
already set to your
timezone and that
the bracelet is
sized to your wrist.
Back to the watch...
don't be intimidated
by the height. The
body is perfectly
balanced and
comfortable with the
bracelet as well as
the rubber strap.
These watches
function as
advertised and built
to do what they're
supposed to do. I
wore the 3000M on my
dives in Curacao and
the dial easily
readable at depth.
The bezel action was
smooth and the
locking mechanism
such a convenience.
I definitely drank
the UTS kool-aid and
after only a month
with the 3000M, I'm
already looking for
a way to fund a
2000M Pacific Blue
Horizon.

7 and counting
Stephen, Why have I bought 7 watches from you?
Besides the fact that I love these UTS watches.
Your service and attention to detail ae what bring
me back! I am happy to support you and Herr.
Spinner by purchasing my watches from you. I love
the fact that I can interact with the owner of the
company. The latest watch I purchased is the
2000m diver, one with a black dial and another with
blue. This watch is by far the best diver watch I
own. I do love my UTS 1000m, also and find it to be
a great watch. I really cannot say enough good
things about you guys. If anyone needs more
convincing they can call me direct!

UTS 1000M
I am a Panerai fan
and was looking for
a dive watch. After
lots of research on
the internet, I came
across UTS Watches
and was immediately
drawn to it. The
uniqueness of the
watch and the
already highly
praised brand got me
a difficult task to
choose one. I
decided on the 1000M
Diver with limited
edition black dial.
I first called
Stephen and was
interested in going
on site in southern
California to see
the watch in person,
however, there was
no showroom. When I
talked to Stephen,
he was very pleasant
and accommodating.
After much
discussion and my
being picky on
numbers, he got me
my one special
edition 1000M Diver.
The watch arrived
very quickly and I
was immediately
happy. The weight of
the watch is
substantial yet
comfortable. The
bracelet was already
adjusted perfectly
to my wrist size as
Stephen asked me
during my ordering.
I have this watch on
my wrist daily since
I got it a few
months ago. A
totally satisfying
experience with
Stephen and
absolutely amazing
watch. I already had
one comment for it.
Thanks Stephen.

3000M and PVD Diver Chronograph
Between the two of these exceptional watches, I'm
pretty much set for life, never mind the fact that my
collection includes examples from Rolex, IWC,
Omega, Kobold, Ikepod, and Panerai (to say
nothing of my vintage pieces). Were I to sell them
all off tomorrow, it wouldn't matter so long as I still
had these two beauties in my possession; to say
that UTS stands heads and shoulders above the
rest is an understatement. The attention to detail is
astounding, and the craftsmanship almost defies
belief, particularly in light of the fact that a single
person is responsible for the construction of both
watches.
Where to begin? The 3000M (white lume dial, in
this case), is an elegant beast that is perfectly
balanced on my wrist in spite of its considerable
heft. The bezel -- floating on ceramic ball bearings
-- turns with delectable precision, and the lume
stops just short of being radioactive. And while I'll
never come close to approaching it's rated depth
limits (unless I was tossed overboard in the
Marianas Trench with lead weights attached to my
ankles), the fact that it's engineered to such a
degree to survive at 3000 meters is an incredible
feat in anyone's book.
As for the Diver Chrono, I'm almost at a loss for
words. The PVD finish is flawless and durable, the
contrasting anthracite subdials with their concentric
guilloche are stunning, the counters reset precisely
to zero, and as with my 3000M, the lume is nuclear
(the lumed subdials are a nice touch as well). And
then we have the reverse-action locking pushers
that screw down in the opposite direction of pretty
much every other chronograph on the market. It's
such a terrific idea that one is forced to wonder why
no one thought of it sooner. Well, Herr Spinner
thought of it, and that's all that matters.
Mr. Newman was a true gentleman throughout
every aspect of our correspondence, from my first
tentative email to the hour-long phone call that
preceded my order. He is personable, knowledgeable, open, honest, and genuinely in
love with his work and the products that he sells --
and believe me, it shows. My watch showed up
fitted perfectly for my wrist, with the time and date
set, as well as a personal note wishing me well with
the impending birth of my second child. In all my
life, I don't believe that I've ever received such
treatment from the owner of a company whose
products I was purchasing.
All in all, dealing with UTS was a delight from
beginning to end, and I look forward to adding
more of their fantastic pieces to my collection in the
future.
Regards,
Adam

unique watches that can take everyday wearing no
matter what you do.

Bauhaus 1000m Divers Watch
Bauhaus 1000m Divers Watch
A couple of weeks before Christmas 2008, my wife, Ludmilla, suggested I pick out watch that I would
really enjoy. At first I protested because there are many more important things in life than expensive
material possessions (although I wish I could say with truth that I do not fall prey to such temptations);
and anyway, the watches to which I was attracted seemed to start at $6000; another weakness on my
part.
Nonetheless, having recently acquired and then given away a Rolex Sea Dweller, the one Rolex model
to which I really 'took', I did look into the matter. And true to its reputation, that Rolex helped pay for my
wife's medically necessary spine surgery. Many less expensive watches, bar a few, seemed relatively
'lightweight', still too costly and, basically, unremarkable. Then I stumbled upon UTS watches on the
internet. After researching the matter very carefully, I bought a black-faced UTS Bauhaus 1000m divers
watch with a black PVD-coated bezel, and a brushed steel mesh bracelet. I simply love it.
Ever since we went to Bavaria to have Dr. Rudolf Bertagnoli implant four beautifully made artificial discs
in her lower back, curing her of a USA-defined 'incurable' and debilitating lower back pain, we have
held a soft spot and tremendous respect for Bavaria and those there who looked after us so well. It just
so happens that UTS watches are made in the same part of Germany, something that heightened my
interest in them. This may sound sentimental, but so what? That coincidence was only the beginning.
My research confirmed the quality and value of UTS watches. Must one be a professional diver to
appreciate this particular watch? I think not (but it helps if one can at least tell the time).
The service, delivery and personal attention paid me by Mr. Stephen Newman, the USA-based partner
of the German watchmaker, Mr Spinner, was perfect. His sales approach was low key, professional, and
attentive. He followed through on every promise beyond the call of duty. He even assured me that this
hand crafted timepiece of Swiss and German origin can easily be fixed by other fine watch repairers
should help ever be needed beyond that covered by the warranty.
This hand made watch--not available in stores--has 'heft' and simplicity of design making,
simultaneously, a commanding yet somewhat understated impression. It maintains a far higher level of
accuracy than did my near-twice-the-price Rolex (gaining only about 3 seconds a day); and it is truly
unique being only # 36 of 200 made. It is also surprisingly comfortable to wear considering its size and
mass, the watch case being well balanced by the strong and elegant, almost tool-like, stainless steel
mesh bracelet. The workmanship and attention to detail is outstanding. Conceptually, it reminds me of
the meticulous care and skill rendered by the orthopaedic surgeon who gave Ludmilla's life back to her
and to whom we shall ever be grateful. Obviously, this watch means far more to me than the sum of its
parts. Yet even as a 'mere' watch I would recommend it over any other. If you must first save to buy one,
then do so. After all, it is only a matter of time.........

Mr
I bought an
Adventure watch
(with the manual
Unitas 6497
caliber), about two
months ago and I
like it very much so
far.
It´s been one of the
watches I wear most,
and is surprinsingly
confortable for a
big watch. The clean
dial appeals to me.
I would only ask UTS
to sell an optional
nicer, higher end,
leather strap for
it, although I know
most buyers will
probably wear theirs
on the nice bracelet
or mesh steel band.
I would recommend
the UTS brand to
anyone.
My other watches are
Sinn, Anonimo,
Rolex, and Panerai.
The UTS stands
comparison with any
of them.

UTS 1000 PVD Meter Diver
This watch exceeded
my expectations.
There is a high
degree of quality
evident in the case
and bracelet
construction. The
watch is balanced
and wears extremely
well on the wrist.
Overall, a great
deal of value for
the price!
