Description

Here it is: the Enicar Book Giftbox, proudly created by artist Klaartje (Het Dozenfabriekje) on Sectie-C in Eindhoven. The cover of this box is a collage of original watch adverts from 1956 till 1962, from brands like Girard Perregaux, Junghans, Mido, Breitling, Prisma, Nivada and many, many more. In the center of the box cover is a 100% original Enicar advertisement. There are 8 different Enicar advert versions available, but the one you will receive is a surprise (even for me).

The box is made of thick cardboard. The inside of the box is covered with red paper, matching the red title of the Enicar book. The book itself fits beautifully in this custom made cassette. Since every piece is handmade, minor imperfections can occur since Klaartje works with vintage materials. Besides, perfection is boring 😉

The complete set will contain 1 Enicar book (2020 reprint) + the box. The Enicar Book Giftbox is available early December in a limited edition, so it may be the perfect Christmas gift.

Have a great Saturnday everyone ✨ #enicar #enicarsherpa #sherpadive #saturnday #watchesofinstagram #vintagediver #hodinkee #watchweekend MkI Sherpa Jet with ‘17 Jewels’ notification on the dial. Something you usually only see on the ‘33 Jewels’ version. Does anyone have a similar one? #enicarjet #enicar #enicarsherpa #sherpajet #gmt #watchesofinstagram #instawatch #doublecrown #watchcollector Enicar dress watches from the 1950s are still underrated I think. Granted, these are not your typical summer watches. #enicar #enicarultrasonic #watchesofinstagram #dresswatch #antique #instawatch #watchcolector Stylish numbers and a razor sharp case. Another sweet for the Enicar candy box ✨ #enicar #enicarwatches #starjewels #watchesofinstagram #instawatch #watchbox #watchcandy NEW BLOGPOST: Meet Mister Siegfried 'Sigi' Zwimpfer, the man who raced a Porsche Carrera 6, sponsored by Enicar.

The Enicar galaxy is impossible to chart in only one lifetime (but I will keep trying). Gorgeous markers on a textile dial, in a 38 mm case for extra wrist presence. Thank you for this amazing dress watch @antaresvintagewatches #enicar #enicarwatches #saturnday #watchesofinstagram #watchweekend #dresswatch Three dials from a new old stock batch. Notice that one is branded ‘Birks’ which was a reseller from Canada that also sold Enicar Sherpa models under the Birks/Rideau private label. #enicar #enicarwatches #saturnday #watchesofinstagram #booksontime #birks #newoldstock #watchdial
