Founded in 1913 at La Chaux-de-Fonds by Ariste Racine-Blatt, Enicar forms part of the rich industrial and horological tradition of the Swiss Jura. The brand name, derived from the founder’s surname spelled in reverse, reflects a practice of early twentieth-century watchmaking firms in constructing distinctive commercial identities while retaining a personal link to their founders.
