COPENHAGEN-BASED REC THIS YEAR MARKED its first decade in the watch business, during which time it has established itself at the forefront of an increasingly popular horological niche – that dedicated to making timepieces that incorporate bits and pieces salvaged from interesting old vehicles.
Founders Jonathan Kamstrup and Christian Mygh chose the name REC in order to emphasise the fact that their aim was to ‘recover, recycle and reclaim’ – that REC also alludes to the ‘wrecks’ that often inspire such activities is just happy coincidence.
