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.
