Upcoming: a trip to Lengnau, home of Enicar

Vandervenus 11 August 2018

Enicar, factory, Lengnau, Biel, Switzerland
The glorious Enicar factory as it was back in the seventies.

In a few weeks I will be on a train to Biel. Yes, it’s finally happening. It’s gonna be my first trip to Switzerland and I doubt it will be my last.

I’m looking forward to petting goats, eating cheese and inhaling fresh ‘n healthy air. But my main purpose is to talk to as many people connected to Enicar as possible. Watchmakers, old employees, retailers, former care takers, you name it. Exploring the stories behind the brand and finding out what impact it had on the local community can only be done by visiting Lengnau, right?

I managed to clean my scedule for three complete weeks (September 1 till 22). Some really interesting appointments are already arranged. But I’m open to many more interviews. After all, my goal is making a book. Yes, a BOOK! I will make short reports of my visit as an appetizer. They will be sweet. They will be teasing. They will make anyone with a taste for Enicar hungry for the book (end sales modus).

So, if you have any usefull contacts in the Biel / Lengnau region that could be helpfull for me, please contact me. Your good deed will be appreciated 🙏🏻
