The Story Behind the Movement
Founded in Grenchen, Switzerland, Felsa became one of the pioneering movement manufacturers of the 20th century after introducing the revolutionary Bidynator system in 1942 — one of the earliest and most important bi-directional automatic winding technologies in Swiss watchmaking history.
The Felsa 4007 N quickly earned a reputation for reliability, robustness, and technical innovation during the golden era of Swiss mechanical watchmaking.
Today, surviving original Felsa movements have become increasingly rare following the disappearance of the manufacture during the quartz crisis, making preserved calibers highly appreciated among collectors and vintage watch enthusiasts worldwide.
The DBF006-02 does not recreate the past.
It preserves it.
Why Collectors Appreciate the DBF006-02
Collectors appreciate the DBF006-02 for its:
- authentic 1950s Swiss historical movement,
- legendary Bidynator technology,
- restored original caliber,
- naturally limited availability,
- and unique mechanical character impossible to reproduce today.
Unlike modern industrial movements produced in large quantities, every Felsa 4007 N carries its own history, architecture, and soul.
A true collector’s piece for enthusiasts who value authenticity over mass production.
Limited to 99 Pieces
Every surviving movement tells a story that can never be reproduced.
Because these historical calibers are finite and no longer manufactured, production is naturally limited.
Only 99 pieces of the Dubois & Fils DBF006-02 will ever exist worldwide.
