Story & Heritage
Founded in 1913 by Ariste Racine in Lengnau, Switzerland, Enicar became one of the most recognisable independent Swiss watch manufacturers of the 20th century. The brand name, famously derived from the founder's surname spelled backwards, developed a reputation for innovative engineering, robust mechanical movements and distinctive watch designs.

During the 1950s and 1960s, Enicar gained international recognition through its technical developments and association with exploration, aviation and professional timekeeping.
One of the brand's important innovations was its Ultrasonic production technology, introduced during the mid-20th century. Enicar promoted the use of ultrasonic cleaning processes in movement manufacturing, helping remove microscopic contaminants from components before assembly. The Ultrasonic name became a recognisable feature of many Enicar watches from this period.
The Incabloc shock-protection system further reflects the technical priorities of the era, when Swiss manufacturers increasingly focused on improving the reliability and durability of mechanical wristwatches.

This Enicar Ultrasonic Date captures the elegance of the 1960s through its silver sunburst dial, slim gold-tone hour markers and classic gold-plated case. Its restrained design reflects a period when mechanical watches were both practical instruments and symbols of personal style.
Today, vintage Enicar watches are appreciated by collectors for their historical significance, distinctive branding and connection to an important chapter of Swiss horological innovation.
A refined vintage timepiece for collectors of Enicar, classic Swiss mechanical watches and elegant mid-century horology.
