| History and info | The story of the
Manufacture d'Horlogerie Enicar S.A. started in 1914, with the watchmaker
Ariste Racine responsible for the foundation of the watch factory in La
Chaux-de-Fonds. The business objective was the production of lever watches
with a wide palette of movements ranging from 4 to 17 lignes. But Racine
did not stay long in the Jura uplands; by the mid-twenties the firm had
its headquarters in Lengnau. Here Racine specialized in sports watches
under his trademark, AR, framed in a pentagon. Finished movements without
cases were also exported to the New World. In around 1962, Enicar took up
the production of its own automatic movements. Calibers in the 112x (11
1/2"') and 114x (11 3/4"') series were called "Rubirotor".
The "Sherpa" name given to hard-wearing sports watches has a
more precise connotation. In 1956, members of a Swiss Himalayan expedition
relied on Enicar timepieces, and their expectations were fully met. From
then on the Enicar collection included such models as the "Sherpa
Time", "Sherpa Ultradive", "Sherpa Star", "Sherpa
Jet" and "Sherpa" chronographs in various executions.
