LIP - Mach 2000 "Mini Moon" - Roger Tallon - Women - 1970-1979 Product Description An iconic piece of industrial design history, the LIP Mach 2000 Mini Moon was designed by the legendary French designer Roger Tallon (famous for designing the TGV high-speed train). This "Mini" version offers the avant-garde, asymmetrical aesthetic of the Mach 2000 series in a more delicate, feminine size. The watch features the signature "D" shaped case and the famous spherical ball crown, which has become a hallmark of 20th-century watch design. This specific model is finished in a beautiful gold-tone with a matching Milanese mesh bracelet.

Expert Note The Mach 2000 is not just a watch; it is a permanent resident of many design museums globally. Its ergonomic layout—placing the crown in a way that doesn't restrict wrist movement—remains one of the most clever innovations in horology. A must-have for collectors of "Space Age" or minimalist design.
