About us
History on your wrist since 2014
REC Watches is a Danish independent watch brand, founded by Jonathan Kamstrup & Christian Mygh in 2014.
We specialize in unique timepieces made with original materials from extraordinary and iconic machines throughout human history.
We call this concept recover – recycle – reclaim, which sets us apart from every other name in the industry.
Our timepieces serve as tributes to the legacy of the donor machines, capturing their stories through every intricate detail and design element.
Since our humble beginnings, we have delivered thousands of timepieces to happy customers across the globe, proudly collecting two crowdfunding records, and numerous design awards along the way.
We are your dedicated team of watch nerds, petrol-heads and history buffs, brought together by our shared obsession for automotive history and horological craftmanship.
The Concept
No machines harmed in the making
Our mission with REC is first and foremost to preserve the legacy and history of the icons we work with, allowing customers and enthusiasts across the world to obtain a small piece of history on their wrist.
We exclusively use original parts which are considered salvage, excess or otherwise unusable.
In addition to the history that they represent, the use of repurposed original materials also has an interesting side effect, as no two watches will ever look exactly alike due to the variations of patina – this makes your timepiece completely unique.
All our products are developed in-house in Denmark, made in Switzerland, and “naturally limited” to the amount of pieces which could be made from the available source materials of each donor machine.
Our Promise
Creativity over conformity
We value and share in what the donor machines can represent. From historic warplanes to famous race cars, these machines will inevitably give rise to emotion.
Each project is driven by the ambition to cultivate the general and individual stories of a donor machine, capturing its spirit in a one-of-a-kind design.
A value that sets us apart in the industry and drives our aim for sustainability and preserving iconic stories of automotive past. We seek to share this common passion and foster lasting relationships with our fans, partners and friends who want to join us for the ride ahead.
