The LIP Annapurna watch pays tribute to the human achievement of 1950, marking the conquest of the first summit above 8,000 meters. This piece, powered by the LIP Manufacture Movement, is crafted in polished and gold-plated 316L stainless steel, with a 39 mm diameter. It houses the LIP R26 caliber, a mechanical automatic movement, the first of its kind designed in Besançon since Fred LIP.
Its white dial, sunburst at the center and sandblasted around the numerals, is protected by a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment. This highlights the applied and gold-plated Arabic numeral indexes, as well as the skeletonized gold-plated hands. A printed railway track around the dial adds an extra touch of sophistication.
The genuine brown alligator-embossed leather strap, fastened with a chrome pin buckle exclusive to LIP Manufacture, combines comfort and elegance. The automatic movement, fully visible through the transparent screwed-down case back with a flat crystal, allows you to admire the large balance wheel oscillating at 3 hertz, ensuring optimal precision. The LIP logo subtly appears as the oscillating weight moves.
Water-resistant up to 50 meters, this watch is individually numbered but is not part of a limited edition. A timepiece with a distinctly "vintage" style, it will bring refinement and distinction to 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.
