HISTORY OF ENICAR
1 October 1913, in the Swiss region of Rue du Crêt in La
Chaux-de-Fonds was the start of a company to be called Enicar. Enicar is the
family name Racine spelled backwards, since the name Racine was already in use
since 1870.
They invent various stunts to attract media and consumers.
Some watches are attached - for several weeks - to the hull or keel of an ocean
steamer to demonstrate how waterproof the watches are. These ‘Seapearl’ watches
- Enicar’s version of the Rolex Oyster - are still wanted among divers.
On May 18, 1956 a Swiss expedition reaches the summit of the
Lhotse Mountain (8516 meters) in the Himalayas, followed by the summit of the
Mount Everest (8848 meters) four days later. All expedition members are wearing
an ENICAR Seapearl wrist watch. They all turned out to be very reliable - as
the sherpa’s were - which led to the brand name ENICAR Sherpa. In 1959 the
ENICAR Sherpa-Graph was introduced, featuring the Valjoux 72 movement as the
contemporary Rolex Daytona! The ENICAR Sherpa becomes the ‘father’ of many
fashionable watches; over one hundred different designs are leaving the
factory.
Swiss made ENICAR watches (1913-1988) were and still
are high end wrist watches, that were/are equaling the quality of watches made
by Rolex, Omega, IWC and many others. On second hand markets prices are
remaining relatively high. Very early AR branded watches and clocks made for
the aviation industry have become very rare.
