Swiss craftsmanship with a remarkable story.

The Dubois et fils DBF008-11 Swiss Craftsmanship was created for collectors who value rarity, mechanical heritage and emotional authenticity.

Inside beats an authentic AS 1985 automatic movement manufactured during the 1960s by legendary Swiss movement maker Adolph Schild SA.

Built decades before this watch existed.
Still alive today.

Each movement was carefully restored and regulated in Switzerland before beginning a second life inside one of only 22 watches worldwide.

Before assembly, these historic calibres even appeared in a Hollywood movie production — adding another unexpected chapter to their journey through time.


About Adolph Schild SA

Founded in Grenchen in 1896, Adolph Schild SA (AS) became one of the great names of Swiss mechanical watchmaking.

Its movements powered countless Swiss watches during the golden era of horology and became respected for their robustness, reliability and mechanical quality.

Then came the Quartz Crisis.

Like many historic Swiss manufactures, AS disappeared during the 1970s as electronic watches transformed the industry forever.

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


What Connoisseurs Appreciate

Collectors appreciate the DBF008-11 because it feels deeply human.

Unlike modern industrial calibres, historic AS movements carry texture, personality and the subtle imperfections that make mechanical watches emotionally alive.

Manufactured during the 1960s, preserved for decades and restored in Switzerland, each movement already had a story before reaching the wrist of its future owner.

Only 22 collectors worldwide will own one.


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