Golden Ripple Watch

“Golden Ripple” by Enicar — Swiss Elegance in Motion

Step into the golden age of mechanical timepieces with this rare vintage treasure from Enicar, a renowned Swiss brand celebrated for its precision craftsmanship and unique design aesthetics. This petite mechanical ladies’ watch, affectionately named Golden Ripple, is a striking example of 20th-century Swiss artistry — a time capsule that wraps elegance around your wrist.

Design & Dial:
The oval-shaped dial is a masterpiece in itself, featuring a hammered texture motif that echoes the ripple-like surface of the gold-tone bracelet. The pattern continues seamlessly from dial to wristband, creating a harmonious and luxurious visual flow. Minimalist, rectangular hour markers in black add contrast and maintain readability while preserving the watch’s refined aesthetic.

Upon closer inspection, there is a fine hairline scratch on the dial — barely noticeable due to the textured surface, and it does not detract from the overall beauty or functionality of the watch.

Bracelet & Case:
The integrated bracelet is a design statement — thick, textured links plated in rich 20-micron gold, radiating a warm, aged patina. While the inner parts show signs of discoloration from age, the outer surface retains its antique charm. The finish has lost some of its original shine, giving the piece a soft, vintage glow — a lived-in elegance that tells its story.

Movement:
Powered by a manual-wind mechanical movement, this timepiece does not require a battery. Simply wind the crown a few times a day to keep it ticking smoothly. As with most vintage watches, it may stop if not regularly wound, which only adds to its nostalgic charm.

Markings & Details:
• Back case: “Bezel Goldplated G 20 Microns - Stainless Steelback - 678-46-01”
• Side of case: Stamped with Enicar’s Saturn logo — a nod to the brand’s cosmic inspiration
• Crown: Original, matching gold tone with subtle age wear
• Condition: Vintage condition. Surface wear, including light inner discoloration and minor dial scratch. Overall excellent functionality and presentation for its age.
