Built during the golden era of Swiss mechanical watchmaking.
Preserved for decades.
Restored in Switzerland for a second life on the wrist.

The bi-color design gives the DBF008-08 a quiet elegance rarely found in contemporary watches — refined without trying to attract attention.

Only 22 pieces worldwide will ever exist.


About Adolph Schild SA

Founded in Grenchen in 1896, Adolph Schild SA (AS) became one of the most respected movement manufacturers of the twentieth century.

Its calibres powered countless Swiss watches before industrial standardisation transformed the industry and before quartz changed mechanical watchmaking forever.

Like many historic Swiss manufactures, AS disappeared during the Quartz Crisis of the 1970s.

Today, surviving original AS movements from the 1960s are increasingly rare — appreciated by collectors for their warmth, character and mechanical soul.


What Connoisseurs Appreciate

Collectors appreciate the DBF008-08 because it feels authentic in a way modern watches rarely achieve.

Historic AS movements carry texture, personality and the subtle imperfections that enthusiasts immediately recognise on the wrist.

Manufactured during the 1960s and preserved for decades before being restored in Switzerland, each calibre already had a life before becoming part of this watch.

Not reproduced.
Preserved.

For experienced collectors, that difference means everything.


Some watches become vintage. This one already was.
