Pre-owned Record Watches watches

Record Watches is a Swiss watchmaking house founded in 1903 in the town of Tramelan, at the heart of the Bernese Jura. From the outset, the brand specialized in the manufacture of reliable, precise, and elegant mechanical watches, catering to a discerning clientele seeking both performance and refinement. Thanks to its expertise, it quickly rose to prominence throughout the 20th century, becoming a respected name on the European watchmaking scene.

Among the brand's most iconic models is the Record Datofix, a complication watch that displayed the time, day, and date — a remarkable innovation at the time. The model gained popularity thanks to its balanced design and exceptional readability. Another standout piece is the Record Chronograph, widely used by pilots and athletes during the 1950s and 1960s. Equipped with precise counters and a robust movement, it exemplifies the brand's strong ties with professional and military circles.

During World War II, Record Watches produced military timepieces for Allied forces, particularly the British. These watches were built to withstand extreme conditions, featuring highly legible dials, hardened steel cases, and extremely accurate movements. Even today, these models are highly sought-after on the pre-owned market for both their historical significance and outstanding craftsmanship.

In the 1960s, the brand was integrated into the Longines group, marking a new chapter in its evolution. Several decades later, Record Watches made a comeback with a modern collection that remains faithful to its historical DNA. These new models, produced under Longines' stewardship, retain the brand's hallmark understated elegance while incorporating COSC-certified chronometer movements — a guarantee of outstanding precision.

Today, pre-owned Record watches appeal to vintage watch enthusiasts as well as fans of classic, reliable timepieces. Their timeless style and proven mechanics make them ideal for those looking to acquire a watch of character — one that is both authentic and accessible.
