    Catching up with a CEO! Sherpa Watches are here! The European micro watch brand inspired by Enicar

    Please contact me via our email address given on the website or on instagram next time you come to Europe! Especially when coming to Germany. Maybe we could meet. Yes, NYC would be a good place to have a dealer, but let's see how this develops. Dealers are often not very open to new brands...

    Catching up with a CEO! Sherpa Watches are here! The European micro watch brand inspired by Enicar

    Hi Horologic2020, thank you for liking it! I appreciate your nice comments. Well, so far we do not have a retailer in the USA, but this might change. There are some watches in the USA, but only at end customers. Where are you located? All the best Martin

    thank you Mat! I was really fun talking to you. So much so that I did not check that I put the Mic input into overdrive. so my voice is quite distorted. I hope people can still follow with comfort. Martin

    Sherpa Guide Strip Down & Rebuild Video by Horology Biology

    Hi Sub just, the winding stem is 0.9, as you indicated, the bezel stem is 1.2 We at Sherpa decided to go 0.9 for both crowns in order to reduce variants. So, even if we wanted to sell new compressor crowns as replacements, we would not have 1.2 as an option. But I am pondering this thought...

    Sherpa Guide Strip Down & Rebuild Video by Horology Biology

    Hi Sub_just, if it is a real compressor crown, there are no gaskets to be made and sold as the design principle is such that the sealing function is integrated into the crown design. One cannot separate a gasket from the crown and replace it. It is a plastic part which is integral to the whole...

    External bezel shims

    by the way, these plastic rings were - back then - actually sealing to prevent water coming in between the bezel and the case. Later they were left out because probably one realised that they were not needed any more. Maybe they were also used for gliding. At least in the patent they say it's a...

    Inner Bezel - ENICAR sherpa 600 Lady Diver

    Hi, these lady divers are in general (not only regarding Enicar) pretty neglected models in the watch world. Usually it is close to impossible to find spare parts. I have yet to see any spare parts popping up for this model. So, the only chance would be buying another model and trying to...

    Sherpa Watches introduction - WatchTime fair Düsseldorf

    Dear Enicaristi, as you know, I have been cooking on something for quite a while. Now I would like to finally introduce you to our new brand Sherpa Watches. I did a similar post in the Uhrforum in German today, and would like to do it here in English. This is not meant to be an advertising...

    The Super Compressor lid?

    So the status is the following: All parts apart from one are there, I am waiting for the central piece (the injection moulding part) to come in the demanded tolerances, and then the testing can begin. I hope in 2 weeks time I know more. And I can give a short update if this old concept still...

    The Super Compressor lid?

    hell no! Currently I am all for the Monoflex crown, 2.0 But of course the design needs to pass modern testing to 200m.

    The Super Compressor lid?

    Dear Hakan, these crowns are manufacured such that they are complete replacement parts. There is no way to disassemble them and then repair. They were never made for this. Also in the modern version they are like that. On the other hand, the gasket system is such that it should last very long...

    The Super Compressor lid?

    Yes, as said above - for all compressor watch cases. They have a special sealing system which is 100% working as a compressor. Low pressure on the gasket material when in normal use - when water pressure is rising, it presses on the gasket to increase the sealing pressure. I really love this...

    The Super Compressor lid?

    Dear Hurmen, I did a post under Sherpa Watches on Instagram about it. This crown was (at least for the first 5-10 years) integral part of the whole compressor watches concept. As we are bringing these crowns back (the original design, updated to today's technology and materials), I would like...
