Recordon took over the workshop of the eminent Swiss watchmaker Josiah Emery, the first watchmaker to use the lever escapement after Thomas Mudge. Recordon is chiefly famous for his patent for a pedometer for winding watches in 1780. This was the world’s first self-winding watch mechanism and the forerunner of modern self-winding watch mechanisms. He also acted as the London agent for the Parisian maker Abraham-Louis Breguet, the leading continental horologist of the time. The Royal Collection has a watch by Recordon that belonged to George III.
