Heuers motorsports heritage is obviously well established and richly deserved
That said, I think Enicar and its connection to Stirling Moss and Jim Clark (easily top 5 driver of all time, no question; spotted wearing his Sherpa arguably more than any other driver other than Jochen Rindt and Paul Newman, and gave his entire race team Sherpa Graphs to celebrate the f1 title) put Enicar level with any other brand in terms of racing heritage
Its funny I have all of these watches in the box (Autavia 1st ex, early Daytona, Rindt Heuer, Nina Rindt UG, Enicar Sherpa Graph) and honestly i grab the Enicars more than any other watch. I for one am glad they are not so crazy expensive I don't hesitate to wear them and can afford to have multiples of them!
: I will leave it to others to throw around the superlatives, and
: declare who was first, and which is best, which is biggest,
: etc., etc.
: I believe that the motorsports heritage of Heuer is well
: established, whether we are considering the dashboard timers,
: the stopwatches or the chronographs . . . whether used by the
: racers, the navigators, the race officials, the crews, etc.
