Amazing -- Enicar Sherpa from Jim Clark
In Response To: Jim Clark Enicar in video ()

We love to see the connections between the racers and their watches.

Amazing to see this watch . . . Enicar Sherpa Graph, a gift from World Champion Jim Clark, to Lotus Chief Mechanic, Dick Scammell.

As always, we have a couple of questions remaining to ask and answer:

  • Was this the personal watch of Jim Clark, worn over the years, that he then had engraved when he decided to make it a gift to Dick Scammell?
  • Or did someone engrave it, when it was first presented to Jim Clark (and later Clark made it a gift to Scammell)?

Regardless of the specific details, it's fantastic to see this watch.
