In 1854, Racine was well-known family of watchmaking in Granges, playing an instrumental role in the development of mechanical watches. In 1914, Ariste Racine and his wife Emma Blatt, established the company "Racine Eatch Co." in La Chaux-de-Fonds. The family name was already trademarked and unavailable for Ariste, so, it is when Emma had the smart idea to flip the family last name backward to become the timeless brand "Enicar", since then, the name has been recognized as a symbol of quality creating reliable and high-performance timepieces with "state-of-the-art technology, elegance and endurance". "Among of few, his innovated readable pocket watches, were most-loved by European soldiers and railway crews during WWI." In 1930, with Enicar name widely spread across European countries, the automatic waterproof collection successfully made its debut to the markets. And by 1946, the first chronograph model appeared for the first time in the market marked a prominent step to success. After WWII, Enicar modernized and expanded production. The company boasted that their movements were cleaned in a laboratory, leading to the Ultrasonic brand found on many watches in the 1950's and 60's. By then, Enicar had began producing its own movements. Enicar movements were quite accurate as well and that led to them received the first certification of accuracy in the 1950's from the renowned Neuchatel Observatory, the forerunner of C.O.S.C. (Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres - the institute responsible for certifying the accuracy and precision of Swiss watches). Nowadays, Enicar is one of the C.O.S.C.'s top 10 certified chronometer watch producers. Today, more than a centennial, Enicar is more than a familiar name, but also entwines a story about success and precision. "As a watchmaker, Enicar values time and the implacable pursuit for transcendence." IMPORTANT – Please be prepared to stand behind any offer you make.

Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size. We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust the lighting, when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that. The condition is pre-owned. The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended. Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have. It will be carefully packed. Please view our other listings. Thank you for looking! Please, if you have Zero or Low feedback, please contact us prior. Please be aware that the item you are bidding on or purchasing is a VINTAGE item. If this item is a watch, unless otherwise noted, it is keeping accurate time over a 2–4-hour time period. We specialize in watches that are 20-100 years old, and as such, these items are previously worn, and the quality of the item WILL reflect that. Expect for a vintage timepiece to have blemishes... this is part of what gives these amazing pieces their charm. Further, unless a watch specifically says that it has been recently serviced, expect that at some point in time, this timepiece will need a professional servicing in order to run and keep excellent time, which is also part of the experience of owning any mechanical watch. If an extremely accurate, worry-free experience is what you are seeking, we would recommend purchasing a new quartz watch. Very few, if any, vintage watches will keep as accurate time as a modern quartz watch. We do our absolute best to take accurate photographs of our items and to show any blemishes. Examples of common characteristics of a vintage timepiece are: -imperfections on the crystal -imperfections on case -imperfections on the lugs -unless stated that the strap is new, the leather is often quite old and may need replacing in the future -metal bracelets may not include all of the links that the watch originally may have come with, but can be replaced with a bracelet or strap of your choosing If the item is a piece of vintage jewelry, be aware that the item may have some minor blemishes such as: -missing stones (view photos, we will NEVER photoshop in a missing stone or piece) -minor scratches or discoloration -fading of plating -fading of paint We do our best to take accurate photos and provide accurate descriptions.
