Record was formed in 1903 with the introduction of the 'Sector Watch,' a triangular pocket watch with retrograde. This timepiece was hugely popular, and by 1920 Record were producing wristwatches as one of the top Swiss watch brands. In the 1930s, Record moved into the production of chronograph watches of exceptional quality.
These timepieces were so well-reputed that they became one of the 'Dirty Dozen' watches selected by the British military to make their WWW watches for soldiers in the Second World War. These WWW watches are highly collectable at auction today, and examples can far exceed their estimates with collectors vying to complete their collection.
In 1961 Record was bought by Longines and continued to operate as an independant brand, however by the late 1980s Swatch acquired Longines and the Record operation was shut down in 1991.
