Lip - Chronographe - Sin precio de reserva - Hombre - 2000 - 2010

Lip Chronographe in stainless steel, 41mm, from the modern Besançon-made re-edition series. Silvered dial with hobnail guilloché centre, applied polished Arabic numerals and a 24-hour outer scale, caseback marked FOND EN ACIER INOXYDABLE - ETANCHE 3 ATM.

Lip is one of the very few French houses with a continuous watchmaking identity, rooted in Besançon since the nineteenth century and known through the twentieth for supplying presidents and heads of state, for Roger Tallon's Mach 2000 in the 1970s, and for the 1973 factory occupation that put the name into French social history. This Chronographe belongs to the modern generation that reworks the brand's mid-century chronograph vocabulary — three registers, a full Arabic numeral set, and a textured centre panel — in a 41mm steel case sized for current wear rather than period proportions.

The watch runs and all functions were confirmed working. The dial is clean throughout with no spotting and sharp printing. The case carries fine scratches across the polished flanks and small nicks on the lug tips; the caseback shows swirl marks and light scratches from wear. The crystal is clear. The leather strap shows cracking around the buckle holes and staining on the lining, and would be an easy replacement. Supplied in its original Lip presentation box, which most examples on the secondary market no longer have.
