About Lip
Lip was born in Besançon in 1867 in Emmanuel Lipmann's workshop and by the mid-20th century had become one of the main French watchmakers. As early as 1952 it presented one of the first prototypes of an electric watch. In 1973 the workers occupied the factory and restarted production themselves for several months.
The Himalaya, the Nautic-Ski and the Mach 2000 designed by Roger Tallon are among the models reissued today.
