Louis Recordon was a Swiss watchmaker who moved from Geneva to London in the 1770s and established his business in Greek Street, Soho. He maintained strong connections in both Switzerland and Paris and was agent for Abraham Louis Breguet in London. In the early 1790s he took into partnership another Genevan watchmaker, Charles Dupont, and they moved to Tottenham Court Road. In 1795 they took over the business of Josiah Emery at 33 Cockspur Street, Charing Cross but in 1800 Dupont left the partnership leaving Recordon to sign his watches Recordon late Emery. Louis Recordon retired in 1816 and was succeeded in Cockspur Street by Peter Des Granges. He died in 1824.
