Record Watch Company History
Record was founded in 1903 in Tramelan as the Record Dreadnought S.A. In 1916, Record merged with several companies under the name Record Dreadnought Watch Co. S.A., with a broad collection of all kinds of clocks, watches, and movements. Brands and names of the involved companies continued to be used. In 1944, the first watches with hammer automatic movements were introduced, rotor automatics in 1952. A Record pocketwatch (calibre 435B) was the first Swiss watch to achieve wide acceptance on US railroads in 1960. Longines bought majority interest in Record in 1961 and produced watches under the Record brand and the Longines-Record brand. but the company did not survive the quartz crisis.
