LIP Ambassador:
MATHIS JACQUET
BMX Race rider

LIP is delighted to announce its new partnership with Mathis JACQUET, the brand's ambassador, a highly talented young sportsman and 2023 French and European champion, and second ranked in the 2025 World Cup.

Mathis rode his first club bike at the age of 7, when he was a member of the UBR BMX club in Mably. He started competing in his 8th year. In 2016, at the age of 12, he already managed to place in the top 5 at the French and European championships. In 2021, he decided to leave his beloved club to join Besançon, currently the best club in France for this discipline, not only because of its infrastructure but also because of its international riders. Mathis trains 6 days a week, alongside the greatest champions and in particular his childhood idol, Jérémy Rencurel, who inspires him and pushes him to constantly surpass himself.

Mathis is first and foremost an all-round sportsman, who despite being injured for 3 consecutive years has come back even stronger. Under the tutelage of his sports and mental preparation coaches, he has never stopped working through the pain, but with the same determination to win and the same joy that drives him! He does a succession of bike training sessions, daily weight training sessions and, whenever he can, takes time out to go downhill skiing with his brother, as he is particularly fond of the mountains.

Like any young all-round sportsman, he combines his career as a professional sportsman with his business studies. Very mature and explosive by nature, he knows that despite his young age, if he fights against the weather in competition, it is essential for him in his preparation.

In 2023, he won the French and European Champion titles in the space of just one week, as well as a fine 3rd place in a round of the U23 World Cup.

He is currently ranked second in the 2025 World Cup. He has evolved in an environment where everything is decided in an instant, where winning or losing comes down to a fraction of a second, and where precise time control matters as much as strength.

Mathis has chosen to race with LIP; his first LIP watch was a Himalaya, which he won as a prize when he won the French Championship.

It also has a Grande Nautic model and a MACH 2000 chrono. A timepiece that's easy to use. The half-moon shape of the Mach 2000 watch by Roger Tallon has been chosen to allow the wrist to bend without discomfort. The hands, which contrast with the dial, enable the wearer to read the time from several meters away, while the crowns, which are more like round buttons, prevent the wearer from injuring himself while moving.

He drives with uncompromising standards, reflected in the LIP Rallye, the meca-quartz chronograph he chose to wear in 2025: a polished 40 mm stainless steel case, instant readability thanks to highly contrasting hands, and a design inspired by the racing circuits of the 1960s and 1970s, featuring two tachymetric scales.

We are proud to have him as part of the LIP team and wish him the very best for 2026.
