  • Catalogue Essay

    Founded in 1903, the Record Watch Company enjoyed a rich history of making interesting and unusual calendar timepieces – but especially also chronographs. The present split-seconds chronograph wristwatch with
    12 – hour register is amongst the most iconic and sought after models the company ever produced.

    The wonderfully complex Venus caliber 185 sits within a large, superbly proportioned steel case with stepped sides and majestic fancy lugs.
    The case is in overall very strong condition and displays superb definition on the bezel and the lugs.

    The stunning three-tone silvered dial with large luminous Arabic hour markers further enhances the watch’s appeal and collectibility. Rarely seen on the market, the Record split-seconds chronograph impresses not only by its size and presence but also represents tremendous value for the wise collector of vintage wristwatches.
