The LIP Annapurna watch pays tribute to the first summit above 8,000 meters conquered by man in 1950. This LIP Manufacture Movement watch, offered in polished and brushed 316L stainless steel, with a 39 mm diameter, houses the R26 movement – the first mechanical automatic movement made in Besançon since Fred LIP. Featuring a sunburst black dial at the center and a sandblasted bezel around the Arabic numeral markers, it is adorned with an anti-reflective treated domed sapphire crystal protecting the dial. The dial also boasts applied rose gold-plated Arabic numerals and skeletonized rose gold-plated hands, along with a printed railway track. The watch is worn with a genuine black leather strap, fastened with an exclusive LIP Manufacture chrome pin buckle. This new French-made automatic movement is visible through the screwed-down transparent case back with a flat crystal, showcasing the large balance wheel oscillating at 3 hertz for greater precision, along with the appearance of the LIP logo as the oscillating weight moves. This piece, water-resistant up to 50 meters, is individually numbered but is not part of a limited edition. A wonderfully "vintage" timepiece that will elegantly adorn any wrist.

This is Besançon's first self-winding Manufacture movement since Fred Lip. Redesigned in-house with the help of Besançon's SupMicroTech engineering school, it features a power reserve of 42 hours when fully wound, a hacking second hand, and a date display. With over 70% French value in terms of production, this movement, whose balance wheel oscillates at 21,600 beats per hour (3 Hertz), features the LIP logo on its gear bridge and oscillating weight, which seem to overlap enchantingly with its oscillations. Equipped with specific hexagonal screws for the gear bridges, balance, and oscillating weight, it is fully assembled, cased, and inspected by the master watchmakers working in LIP's Besançon workshops.
ANNAPURNA - R26
Reach the peaks
In tribute to the achievement of the French climbers Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal, who conquered the first peak over 8000 meters, the "Annapurna" collection was launched by Fred Lip in 1951, before being renamed Himalaya after the ascent of Everest in 1953. Today, LIP reintroduces this iconic watch featuring the R26 movement, combining a 39 mm polished stainless steel or PVD gold case with a black or silver dial. Water-resistant up to 50 meters, the Annapurna celebrates the golden age of mechanical watchmaking and positions itself as a classic prestige piece dedicated to adventurers.
