Swiss craftsmanship with a remarkable story.

The Dubois et fils DBF008-01 Swiss Craftmanship combines refined Swiss watchmaking with the emotion of genuine mechanical history.

Inside its elegant 39 mm case beats an authentic AS 1985 automatic movement manufactured during the 1960s by legendary Swiss movement maker Adolph Schild SA — carefully restored and regulated in Switzerland for a new generation of collectors.

Before being assembled into the DBF008-01, these historic movements were selected for use in a Hollywood movie production, where they appeared on screen before beginning their second life inside this limited Swiss timepiece.

Produced in a strictly limited edition of only 33 pieces worldwide, the DBF008-01 is designed for enthusiasts who appreciate rarity, authenticity and watches with a true story to tell.


About Adolph Schild SA

Founded in Grenchen in 1896, Adolph Schild SA (AS) became one of Switzerland’s most respected movement manufacturers during the golden age of mechanical watchmaking.

Its calibres earned a reputation for reliability, precision and technical quality, powering countless Swiss watches throughout the twentieth century.

Like many historic Swiss manufactures, AS disappeared during the Quartz Crisis of the 1970s, making surviving original movements from the 1960s increasingly rare and appreciated by collectors today.


What Connoisseurs Appreciate

Collectors appreciate the DBF008-01 because it offers something impossible to industrially reproduce: genuine mechanical history with a unique cultural story.

The AS 1985 movement inside this watch was manufactured during the 1960s, later appeared in a Hollywood production and was ultimately restored and regulated in Switzerland for a new generation of enthusiasts.

Combined with the elegant proportions of the 39 mm case and the rarity of only 33 pieces worldwide, the result is a watch that feels deeply personal, emotional and unmistakably collectible.


Every movement carries a past. This one carries a story.
