The Concept
More Than a Watch. A Piece of History
While most watches simply mark time, REC Watches captures history. Each timepiece is crafted from legendary machines, transforming the past into a wearable time capsule.
Imagine wearing a watch infused with the spirit of Steve McQueen’s Triumph TR6 Motorcycle, Ayrton Senna’s Lotus F1 car, or titanium from the legendary SR-71 Blackbird.
At REC, we honor the legacy of the iconic machines we work with, ensuring that enthusiasts can wear a true piece of history on their wrist.
Our materials come from historic and nearly impossible-to-find parts, sourced with great care and deep respect for their provenance.
Our Story
Every Watch Tells a Story
Founded in 2014 by Jonathan Kamstrup and Christian Mygh, REC Watches specializes in unique timepieces made from reclaimed materials that carry historic, legendary, or heroic stories.
Every scratch and imperfection tells a story, making each watch more than just an accessory, it’s a living testament to history, designed to spark conversations.
Each watch is unique, showcasing the distinct patina of its repurposed materials. Designed in Denmark and crafted in Switzerland, every REC timepiece is “naturally limited” by the availability of its historic components, guaranteeing authenticity and exclusivity.
Honoring Legacy
Rare. Timeless. Uniquely Yours.
Short for Recover, Recycle, Reclaim, REC Watches is dedicated to preserving the raw beauty of its materials. No two timepieces are ever the same, and each collection is inherently rare, defined by the history it carries.
Heritage lies at the heart of REC’s philosophy, but each timepiece is meticulously crafted with modern precision. These aren’t just relics encased in metal, they are finely engineered watches, blending high-quality materials, refined movements, and intricate detailing.
A REC watch isn’t just built to last, it’s crafted to be passed down, ensuring the story of the watch, and the story within it, lives on.
