I have a manual winding watch that has Nicklès on the dial, which I cannot find any info about. It's about 35mm in diameter, powered by an AS 1130 Wehrmachtswerk (army movement)

Comparing to a 168005, it doesn't look small at all.

If you have any information about this brand or this watch, please help.

Thank you in advance.

It must be very rare. I bet not many watches have "Rubis" as the jewels 😉

The oldest watch - Bijouterie of Berne had its beginnings in the 19th Century in Biel, where Louis Renard, who later became partner of the founder ran a watch shop. In 1917, he opened together with Georges Nicklès under the name "Renard & Nicklès" a costume jewelry in Breitenrain- quarters in Berne, the Georges Nicklès took over in 1922, under the name "Nickles" further led. In 1938 he moved the business to the Kornhausplatz. His son Roland built the business into a leading company for watches and jewelery, and merged it in 1989, the jewelry "trend Bijou" on.
