Founded in Besançon in the nineteenth century, Lip became a symbol of innovation, creativity, and independent thinking, producing watches that often challenged conventional design standards. The Mythic collection embodies that philosophy perfectly. Rather than following traditional watchmaking aesthetics, Lip chose to reinterpret the way time is displayed. The result is a bold geometric composition where concentric scales, oversized numerals, and minimalist indicators create a fascinating visual experience. The square stainless steel case gives the watch a strong architectural presence, while the broad original leather strap integrates seamlessly into the design, creating the impression of a single sculptural object. Its appearance recalls the industrial and modernist design movements that influenced many French designers during the late twentieth century. Unlike conventional watches that focus purely on functionality, the Mythic was conceived as a statement piece—a watch for individuals who appreciate originality, creativity, and design heritage. It represents the unique French approach to watchmaking, where elegance is often achieved through innovation rather than ornamentation. Today, Lip remains one of the most respected names in French horology, and the Mythic stands among the brand's most recognizable modern creations. Its unusual display, distinctive square profile, and authentic design pedigree make it an appealing piece for collectors of design watches, French horology, and unconventional timepieces. A rare opportunity to acquire an iconic Lip creation that blends watchmaking, industrial design, and French artistic heritage into one highly collectible wristwatch. **Express Delivery Via UPS Express** Internal Reference Number - Ctm. 41
