This week the boys are back to chat about several watch brands and models that the TGN Slack Crew requested as topics. Since Jason and James can’t possibly cover everything that’s of interest, we asked the Crew what watches have been missing from the show and dedicated an episode to filling in some of the blanks. From Christopher Ward to Tag Heuer, new Rolex, Ressence, Longines, and Damasko, it was a blast to discover some new watches, and we thank the Crew for helping to shape this episode.
Another vote for Sherpa Watches / Martin Clocke. Met him last year at the WatchPro show in London. Really interesting. And a nice link to the Sherpas themselves (plus a little bit of Tibetan religion, from memory).
Yes enicar.org is the prominent reference for vintage Enicar.
Martjin who wrote the "Time for a change" could be a great guest.
I own the book and it is fantastic - A book about a forgotten Swiss watch brand that combines photography, storytelling, history, graphic design and cool ‘n funky watches.
The new reinterpretation brand is called Sherpa watches, which has based their design on the old watches. The Enicar brand as it stands now has no direct lineage to the Swiss company of old.
You guys will enjoy the book and the many stories around the brand.
The 13th of the dirty dozen, the racing patronage, the Mumbai specials to keep way from, the advertising boldness.

He’s the only one that I know who has written a book on the watch brand and has been to the archives.
I think you guys also interviewed the other gentleman who re-created Sherpa watches. But I cannot remember that episode. He was also a good guest.

Bring in Martjin and you will not regret it.
