MINI REC Watch
No two watches are exactly alike! REC, the Minimalist watch, is made from a recycled car body.

It's no fun to have a watch with the same design as everyone else or a watch brand that everyone knows!

This is an interesting watch that is one of a kind in the world, made by transforming the body of an actual classic car into a wristwatch.

This watch has been handcrafted by skilled craftsmen from the body of a car, each with its own unique story.

The Minimalist watch is one of a kind, with a unique character that cannot be found anywhere else, thanks to the fact that the watch face is made from a recycled Mini car body.

The Minimalist collection captures the spirit of the small car.

The Mini was once a popular family car among working-class British people as it was an affordable and fuel-efficient car.

One of its charms was its simple design, which eliminated all unnecessary elements to the maximum extent possible.

However, it is rumoured that the dimensions of the door compartment were designed to fit a bottle of Mr Issigonis' favourite gin.

A watch is the focal point of any outfit, whether it's a leather jacket, a casual style like jeans, or a more elegant look.

No two REC watches are the same.
This watch is designed with simplicity in mind, with no unnecessary details even when viewed from the side of the case.

The fun begins when you open it. This watch has been passed down from the previous owner of a Mini car to the current owner, changing shape over time.

REC's minimalist collection uses recycled Mini car bodies for the dials.

This watch inherits the history and character of the previous owner, who used it with great care.

Please enjoy this one-of-a-kind dial pattern that is one of a kind in the world.

It's also a great gift for Mini Cooper lovers.
