Record was founded in 1903 by a group of businessmen There was a merger in the 1910s that saw them become Record Dreadnought.
Record was acquired by Longines in the early 1960s and continued to operate as an independent brand under the umbrella of Longines. However, as Longines became part of the Swatch Group in the late ‘80s and Record was struggling, the operation was shut down in 1991.
