Enicar

Enicar is a highly regarded Swiss watch brand known for its robust engineering, adventurous spirit and distinctive mid-century designs. Founded in 1913 by Ariste Racine in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, the company quickly established a reputation for producing reliable watches capable of performing in demanding environments.

The brand name “Enicar” is famously derived from the founder’s surname, Racine, spelled backwards. Throughout the twentieth century, Enicar gained international recognition for its precision watches, automatic movements and durable sports models. The company became particularly well known during the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, producing watches for explorers, divers, aviators and professional users.

Enicar watches accompanied numerous expeditions and scientific ventures, helping cement the brand’s reputation for reliability and performance. Among the most collectible models are the Sherpa series, including the Sherpa Graph, Sherpa Dive, Sherpa Jet and Sherpa Guide. These watches are highly sought after today for their distinctive designs, technical innovation and historical significance.

Collectors value Enicar for its quality Swiss movements, attractive case designs and strong connection to the golden era of tool watches. Original watches, movements, dials, hands, cases and spare parts are increasingly difficult to source, making authentic Enicar components highly desirable for restoration projects and collectors.

Our collection may include original Enicar wristwatches, Sherpa models, watch movements, dials, cases, spare parts and other collectible horological items. Whether you are searching for a rare Sherpa chronograph, a vintage automatic watch or original restoration components, Enicar remains one of the most respected names in vintage Swiss watchmaking.
