The Mark I Collection is partly made from a classic, salvaged Mini meaning every single timepiece is visibly unique and born with a story.
REC Watches and it's products are not in any way associated or supported by BMW AG or any of its affiliates.The Mark I is a dressy watch – yet it is sporty at the same time due to its 44.3 mm case width. Press the top pusher to activate the chronograph function, push it again to pause it and snap it back to its starting position using the bottom pusher. Other than the chronograph feature, the Mark I has a 24 hour indicator and date function.
The Mark I comes with a black croco pattern leather strap with a quick-release system making it possible change straps without using tools.
The original Mini (Mark I) is by many considered an icon of 1960s British popular Culture. Its space-saving transverse engine front-wheel drive layout influenced car makers all around the world for generations to come. And as a matter of fact, the Mini was awarded the second most influential car of the 20th Century – only surpassed by the Ford Model T.
Presented in August 1959 the Mini was introduced as a small economy car. It wasn’t until 1969 the word "MINI" became a marque in its own right when it replaced the separate "Austin Mini" and "Morris Mini" car model names.
Performance versions of the classic Minis took the name Cooper, after partnership with racing legend and car maker John Cooper. The Mini Cooper and Cooper S were both successful as race and rally cars winning several championships.
Every single Mark I timepiece comes with a brochure telling you the story of the specific car that became your watch – along with a copy of the car’s original logbook.
